v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Herrera-Espinosa filed a timely 

response.

Herrera-Espinosa pled guilty to illegally re-entering the United States 

following deportation after a felony conviction. On September 6, 2013, the 

district court sentenced him to thirty (30) months imprisonment followed by 

three (3) years of supervised release. Herrera-Espinosa was removed from the 

United States on June 30, 2015. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the 

relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Herrera-Espinosa’s 

response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no 

nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Because Herrera-Espinosa has 

completed the confinement portion of his sentence, any argument that the 

prison term should be reduced is moot. See United States v. RosenbaumAlanis, 483 F.3d 381, 382 (5th Cir. 2007). 

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 382-83.
