IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 19-60300
Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

JOE FLYNN,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 3:14-CR-39-1

Before STEWART, HIGGINSON, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
*

Joe Flynn appeals the sentence imposed following the revocation of his
supervised release. We must examine the basis of our jurisdiction, sua sponte,
if necessary. Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). During the
pendency of this appeal, Flynn completed his revocation sentence and was
released from custody. Because the district court did not impose an additional
term of supervised release, there is no case or controversy for us to address.

*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5
TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
