United States v. Huffine

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Eldon Lewis Huffine appeals from the five-month sentence imposed upon revocation of his supervised release. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Huf-fine’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.

By order filed February 4, 2010, counsel was advised that the court appeared to lack jurisdiction over the appeal because appellant has completed his federal sentence without an additional term of supervised release, and has paid his restitution, fine, and special assessment. Counsel was ordered to move for voluntary dismissal or show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed. To date, counsel has not responded.

Because Huffine has completed his federal sentence, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See United States v. Palomba, 182 F.3d 1121, 1123 (9th Cir. 1999).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the appeal is DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
