 This is an application for a writ of habeas corpus that was transmitted to this Court
by the clerk of the trial court pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07, Section 3, of the
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.  Ex Parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App.
1967).  Applicant was convicted of driving while intoxicated, enhanced, and sentenced to ten
(10) years' confinement.  Imposition of the sentence was suspended and Applicant was
placed on community supervision for a period of ten (10) years.  Following revocation of
community supervision, his sentence was assessed at four (4) years' confinement.  No direct
appeal was taken.

mandatory supervision release, be dismissed as moot.  We agree.
