Before MURPHY, BYE, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Dana Johnson appeals the 7-month prison sentence that the district court1
imposed after revoking his supervised release. We dismiss the appeal as moot,
because he was released from custody on October 17, 2006. See Spencer v. Kemna,
523 U.S. 1, 6, 18 (1998) (declaring moot challenge to allegedly erroneous parole
revocation because defendant had already served entire sentence).




      1
      The Honorable Ronald E. Longstaff, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as moot.
