UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
BENJAMIN JOHN BOYLE,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas
4:02-cr-00199
Before GARWOOD, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
In this appeal, Appellant Benjamin Boyle seeks only a review
of the length of his sentence. After the appeal was docketed and
briefs filed by the parties and before the Court could issue an
opinion on the merits, Appellant’s sentence expired and he has been
released from custody. The counsel of record agree and we also
conclude that since Appellant’s sentence expired during the course
of the proceeding that the case is moot. Lane v. Williams, 455
