Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:18-CR-361-1 ______________________________

Before Higginbotham, Stewart, and Southwick, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Braulio Ramirez in his appeal of his revocation of supervised release and resulting sentence of months and one day has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United Case: 22-10965 Document: 00516823682 Page: 2 Date Filed: 07/17/2023

No. 22-10965

States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Ramirez has not filed a response.

During the pendency of this appeal, Ramirez completed the sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release and was released from custody. Because no additional term of supervised release was imposed, the instant appeal is 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 for leave to withdraw is DENIED as unnecessary.
