Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

RAFAEL S. RODRIGUEZ-SOTO, also known as Rafael Rodrigues-Soto, true 

name Rafael Soto-Vargas,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 5:12-CR-903

Before KING, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Rafael S. Rodriguez-Soto appeals the 37-month sentence imposed 

following his guilty plea conviction for being found unlawfully in the United 

States after prior removal, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He contends that 

his within-guidelines sentence was both procedurally and substantively 

unreasonable.

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

2

Rodriguez-Soto has completed his term of imprisonment, has been 

released from custody, and has been removed to Mexico. The appeal of his 

sentence is therefore moot. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 

381, 382-83 (5th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.
