                      Defendant - Appellant.

Lenora Banks-Davis, Appellant Pro Se.

      *
          The opinion is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(d) (2012).
PER CURIAM:

      Lenora Banks-Davis appeals the district court’s order denying her motion for

compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A).        Our review of the record

discloses that Banks-Davis is no longer in custody, having served her term of

imprisonment. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as moot. See United States v.

Chestnut, 989 F.3d 222, 224–25 (2d Cir. 2021) (holding that a prisoner’s appeal of the

denial of a motion for compassionate release is moot upon the prisoner’s release when the

prisoner requests release from prison solely based on health risks posed by COVID-19).

We deny Banks-Davis’ motion for appointment of counsel and 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.

                                                                             DISMISSED

                                            2
