PER CURIAM:

Amir Salvatore Khayyat seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his 18

U.S.C. § 3583(e) motion for early termination of supervised release. During the pendency

of this appeal, however, Khayyat completed his term of supervised release. Accordingly,

we dismiss the appeal as moot. See Fleet Feet, Inc. v. NIKE, 986 F.3d 458, 463 (4th Cir.

2021) (“If an event occurs during the pendency of an appeal that makes it impossible for a

court to grant effective relief to a prevailing party, then the appeal must be dismissed as

moot.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). We deny his motion to seal his informal brief.

See generally Gonzalez v. Cuccinelli, 985 F.3d 357, 376-77 (4th Cir. 2021). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
