Before LOKEN, BENTON, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Jerome Deering Bey appeals the district court’s1 rulings denying his motion
seeking a reduction to the length of his prison sentence under the First Step Act, and

      1
       The Honorable Linda R. Reade, United States District Judge for the Northern
District of Iowa.
denying his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A).
Because Deering Bey was released from custody during the pendency of this appeal,
his challenges to the district court’s orders have become moot. See Owen v. United
States, 930 F.3d 989, 989-90 (8th Cir. 2019). The appeal is therefore dismissed.
