Summary Calendar.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
July 5, 2011.
Angie Lee Henson, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Eyvone Michelle Garrett, Fort Worth, TX, pro se.
Before JOLLY, GARZA, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Eyvone Michelle Garrett appeals the district court's denial of her motion under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) to reduce her prison sentence. Because Garrett was released from prison on July 9, 2010, her appeal is DISMISSED as moot.
I.
On June 26, 2003, Garrett pleaded guilty to various drug-related charges. In October, she was sentenced to 210 months of imprisonment. In February 2007, on motion from the government, her sentence was reduced to 100 months. In February 2008, Garrett moved to have her sentence further reduced in the light of relevant changes to the sentencing guidelines. Her motion was denied in March, and she filed a timely notice of appeal. Garrett was released from prison on July 9, 2010.
II.
The threshold question is whether Garrett's appeal is moot. A panel of this court, in a recent unpublished decision, has spoken directly to this precise issue. See United States v. Boston, 419 Fed.Appx. 505 (5th Cir.2011). Boston specifically held that we cannot consider a motion to reduce a sentence when the movant has been released from prison. Id. at 506-07. We agree, although we further note that our decision does not strip Garrett of her right to file "a motion . regarding supervised release." See id.
III.
Garrett's appeal is moot and is therefore
DISMISSED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
