                             USDC No. 3:95-CR-211-1


Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Eduardo V. Ontiveros, federal prisoner # 67193-080, appeals the district
court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentencing reduction
based on Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. On February 24,
2017, before this case was decided, Ontiveros was released from federal
custody. “Where a defendant has begun serving a term of supervised release,
the appeal of the denial of his § 3582(c)(2) motion is moot.” United States v.


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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