   MEMORANDUM

Gary A. Germany appeals from the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for reduction of his custodial sentence. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we dismiss.

Because Germany has finished serving his “term of imprisonment,” he is not eligible for relief under section 3582(c)(2). See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (allowing the district court to reduce the “term of imprisonment” when the defendant was sentenced based upon a sentencing range which has been subsequently lowered). Accordingly, we agree with the government that this case is moot. See United States v. Strong, 489 F.3d 1055, 1059 (9th Cir.2007).

DISMISSED.
