v.

ROSIE LEE VEGA

                                                  Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                           USDC No. 4:03-CR-303-ALL


Before DAVIS, WIENER, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rosie Lee Vega has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Vega has not filed a response.
       “This Court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own motion,
if necessary.” Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). Article III,
section 2, of the Constitution limits federal court jurisdiction to actual cases and
controversies. Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998). The case-or-controversy

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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

requirement demands that “some concrete and continuing injury other than the
now-ended incarceration or parole – some ‘collateral consequence’ of the
conviction – must exist if the suit is to be maintained.” Spencer, 523 U.S. at 7.
      Counsel asserts that there are no nonfrivolous issues relating to the
district court’s revocation of Vega’s supervised release and sentence of eight
months in prison. During the pendency of this appeal, Vega completed her eight
month term of imprisonment. The judgment imposed no further supervised
release term. Accordingly, there is no case or controversy for this court to
address, and this appeal is DISMISSED as moot. Counsel’s motion to withdraw
is DENIED as unnecessary.
