Before:        TALLMAN, M. SMITH, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

       Gary A. Germany appeals from the district court’s order denying his 18

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for reduction of his custodial sentence. We have

eligible for relief under section 3582(c)(2). See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (allowing

Accordingly, we agree with the government that this case is moot. See United

States v. Strong, 489 F.3d 1055, 1059 (9th Cir. 2007).

      DISMISSED.
