stating that the appeal is moot, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record.
We agree that the appeal is moot because Mendoza-Alvarez has fully served
his custodial sentence and is not subject to an additional term of supervised release.
See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 14 (1998); United States v. Palomba, 182 F.3d
1121, 1123 (9th Cir. 1999). We, therefore, dismiss the appeal.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
