                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Western District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:21-CR-605-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Stewart, Duncan, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Oscar Ivan
   Melendez-Romero in his appeal of his revocation of supervised release and
   resulting nine-month sentence has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed
   a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and

         _____________________

Case: 22-50636      Document: 00516661750          Page: 2   Date Filed: 03/01/2023

                                    No. 22-50636

   United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Melendez-Romero has
   not filed a response.
          During the pendency of this appeal, Melendez-Romero completed the
   sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release and was released
   from custody. Because no additional term of supervised release was imposed,
   the instant appeal is moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998); Bailey
   v. Southerland, 821 F.2d 277, 278 (5th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, the appeal is
   DISMISSED as moot, and counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is
   DENIED as unnecessary.
