No. 14-50408

2

During the pendency of this appeal, Echeverria completed his six-month 

term of imprisonment. His release from custody renders moot any challenge 

to the term of imprisonment. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 

381, 382 (5th Cir. 2007). 

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record 

reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal 

presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s 

motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further 

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED in part as frivolous, 

see 5TH CIR. R. 42.2, and in part as moot, see Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d at 

383.
