UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

BERTHA MORENO DE CASTORENA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 2:13-CR-187-1

Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Bertha Moreno de Castorena, former federal prisoner # 10226-380, 

appeals the district court’s denial of her 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a

moot.” United States v. Booker, 645 F.3d 328, 328 (5th Cir. 2011). Because 

Moreno de Castorena’s appeal concerns only the term of her imprisonment, 

and makes no challenge to her term of supervised release, her arguments 

pertain only to relief under § 3582(c)(2). Accordingly, we conclude that Moreno 

de Castorena’s appeal must be DISMISSED AS MOOT.
