United States v. Vaughn Wooden

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Vaughn Wooden, 673 F. App'x 789 (9th Cir. 2017)

United States v. Vaughn Wooden

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Vaughn Maurice Wooden appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release to the extent it required him to serve six months in a residential reentry center (“RRC”) as part of his supervised release term. We dismiss.

Wooden contends the district court procedurally erred by basing the RRC condition on the clearly erroneous finding that Wooden had intentionally violated the previous RRC condition and because the RRC condition allegedly conflicts with the sentencing options presented to Wooden by the district court. Because Wooden has satisfied the six-month RRC condition, and any decision in this appeal would have no effect on the length of his supervised release term, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See United States v. Strong, 489 F.3d 1055, 1059 (9th Cir. 2007) (“An appeal is moot when, by virtue of an intervening event, a court of appeals cannot grant any effectual relief whatever in favor of the appellant.” (internal quotation marks omitted)).

DISMISSED.
