No. 20-40150

During the pendency of this appeal, Martinez-Alvarado, who evidenced his intent to appeal his sentence only, completed the sentence imposed. Because Martinez-Alvarado was deported upon his release from custody and is not subject to a term of supervised release, this appeal is moot.

See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998); Lane v. Williams, 455 U.S. 624, 631 (1982); Bailey v. Southerland, 821 F.2d 277, 278 (5th Cir. 1987).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED as moot, and counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is DENIED as unnecessary.
