motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Rivera the
opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or
answering brief has been filed.
A review of the record indicates that this appeal is moot because Rivera has

See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 14 (1998); United States v. Palomba, 182 F.3d
1121, 1123 (9th Cir. 1999). We accordingly dismiss this appeal.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
