No. 12-40964 During the pendency of this appeal, Valadez completed his sentence of imprisonment, and he has no further term of supervised release to serve. The appeal is, therefore, moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998); Bailey v. Southerland, 821 F.2d 277, 278 (5th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED as moot, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is DENIED as unnecessary.
