v.

ISMALDO NAUL VALADEZ,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 5:09-CR-1328-2


Before PRADO, ELROD, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Ismaldo Naul Valadez in his appeal
of his revocation of supervised release and sentence has moved for leave to
withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011).
Valadez has not filed a response.




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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

                                No. 12-40964

      During the pendency of this appeal, Valadez completed his sentence of
imprisonment, and he has no further term of supervised release to serve. The
appeal is, therefore, moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998); Bailey
v. Southerland, 821 F.2d 277, 278 (5th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, the appeal is
DISMISSED as moot, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is DENIED as
unnecessary.
