No. 25-40568

States v. Garcia, 483 F.3d 289, 290-91 (5th Cir. 2007). However, Quintanilla- Rosales’s release from custody, with no additional term of supervised release, renders any sentencing challenge moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998).

Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED as moot.
