v.

ERIC SYKES HAMPTON,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:96-CR-187-1

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Eric Sykes Hampton, formerly federal prisoner # 72874-079, appeals from
the district court’s decision denying his motion to modify his sentence under 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). While his appeal was pending, Hampton was released from
prison. Thus, his appeal is DISMISSED as moot. See United States v. Booker,
645 F.3d 328, 328 (5th Cir. 2011); United States v. Boston, 419 F. App’x 505, 506
(5th Cir. 2011).

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
