       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

                                 No. 13-20535

v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011).      Herrera-Espinosa filed a timely
response.
      Herrera-Espinosa pled guilty to illegally re-entering the United States
following deportation after a felony conviction. On September 6, 2013, the
district court sentenced him to thirty (30) months imprisonment followed by
three (3) years of supervised release. Herrera-Espinosa was removed from the
United States on June 30, 2015. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the
relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Herrera-Espinosa’s
response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no
nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.      Because Herrera-Espinosa has
completed the confinement portion of his sentence, any argument that the
prison term should be reduced is moot. See United States v. Rosenbaum-
Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 382 (5th Cir. 2007).
      Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS
DISMISSED in part as frivolous, see 5TH CIR. R. 42.2, and in part as moot. See
Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d at 382-83.
