IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-50248

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

LAURA BARRIENTOS,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 2:12-CR-1117-1

Before KING, DENNIS, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Laura Barrientos, former federal prisoner # 09191-180, appeals the 

district court’s denial of her 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence 

reduction based on Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. On June 

27, 2016, before this case was decided, Barrientos was released from federal 

custody. “Where a defendant has begun serving a term of supervised release, 

the appeal of the denial of [the] § 3582(c)(2) motion is moot.” United States v. 

 

* 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.

No. 16-50248

2

Booker, 645 F.3d 328, 328 (5th Cir. 2011). Because this appeal concerns only 

the denial of Barrientos’s § 3582(c)(2) motion and does not involve issues 

pertaining to her term of supervised release, we conclude that Barrientos’s 

appeal must be DISMISSED AS MOOT.
