PER CURIAM:
Paul Richard Chatman appeals from the district court's judgment revoking his term of supervised release and sentencing him to seven months' imprisonment with no additional term of supervised release. Chatman's counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), stating that there are no meritorious grounds for appeal but questioning whether Chat-man's revocation sentence is reasonable. Chatman was informed of his right to file a pro se supplemental brief, but he has not done so. During the pendency of this appeal, Chatman was released from incarceration.
We may address sua sponte whether an issue on appeal presents "a live case or controversy . since mootness goes to the heart of the Article III jurisdiction of the courts." Castendet-Lewis v. Sessions, 855 F.3d 253, 260 (4th Cir. 2017). Because Chatman has already served his term of imprisonment and the district court did not impose any additional term of supervised release, there is no longer a live controversy regarding the revocation sentence. Therefore, counsel's challenge to the district court's decision to impose the seven-month prison term is moot. See United States v. Hardy, 545 F.3d 280, 283-84 (4th Cir. 2008).
In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the record in. this case and have found no meritorious grounds for appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss as moot the appeal of Chatman's sentence and affirm the remainder of the revocation judgment. We deny counsel's motion to withdraw at this stage in the proceedings. This court requires that counsel inform Chatman, in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If Chatman requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may renew his motion. Counsel's motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Chatman.
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.
