there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record.
Because Gonzalez has fully served his sentence and is not subject to a term
of supervised release, we dismiss this appeal as moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523
U.S. 1, 14 (1998); United States v. Palomba, 182 F.3d 1121, 1123 (9th Cir. 1999).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
