No. 21-40847 in October 2021 revoked Rivera’s probation for failure to comply with its terms and sentenced him to six months’ imprisonment.
For this resulting appeal, our court granted Rivera’s requested remand to permit the district court to correct the written judgment.
Because that court has granted the requested relief on limited remand, and as Rivera accordingly acknowledges in his subsequent 10 June 2022 letter to our court, this appeal is moot. See United States v. Heredia-Holguin, 823 F.3d 337, 340 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc) (explaining “case becomes moot only when it is impossible for a court to grant any effectual relief whatever to the prevailing party” (citation omitted)).
DISMISSED.
