consider the relevant sentencing factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). The 

Government argues that the appeal is moot.

Because Ramos has completed the six-month term of imprisonment, has 

no further term of supervised release, and has no payments to make, this court 

is unable to grant him any relief on his sentence. Thus, his sentencing appeal

is moot. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 383 (5th Cir. 

2007). The appeal is therefore DISMISSED as moot.
