v.

RAFAEL S. RODRIGUEZ-SOTO, also known as Rafael Rodrigues-Soto, true
name Rafael Soto-Vargas,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 5:12-CR-903

Before KING, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Rafael S. Rodriguez-Soto appeals the 37-month sentence imposed
following his guilty plea conviction for being found unlawfully in the United
States after prior removal, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He contends that
his within-guidelines sentence was both procedurally and substantively
unreasonable.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 14-41396   Document: 00513137469    Page: 2   Date Filed: 07/31/2015

                               No. 14-41396

     Rodriguez-Soto has completed his term of imprisonment, has been
released from custody, and has been removed to Mexico. The appeal of his
sentence is therefore moot. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d
381, 382-83 (5th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.
