PER CURIAM:

Derrick Glenn Johnson appeals the district court’s order 

revoking his term of supervised release and sentencing him to a 

10-month term of imprisonment and an additional 26-month term of 

supervised release. Johnson’s counsel has moved to dismiss the 

appeal, representing to the court that Johnson died in January 

2016. The Government does not oppose the motion. 

We grant counsel’s motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal 

as moot. We remand the case to the district court with 

instructions to vacate its June 5, 2015 order of judgment and 

commitment and to dismiss the petition for the revocation of 

Johnson’s supervised release. See United States v. Dudley, 739 

F.2d 175, 176 (4th Cir. 1984) (holding that death of appellant 

pending appeal of criminal conviction results in abatement of 

appeal and prior proceedings).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal 

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before 

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED AND 

REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS
