United States v. Cristomo Santana-Rojas

599 F. App'x 562

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The attorney appointed to represent Cristomo Santana-Rojas has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir.2011). Santana-Rojas has not filed a response.

The record reflects that Santana-Rojas wishes to appeal his sentence only. See United States v. Garcia, 483 F.3d 289, 291 (5th Cir.2007). Santana has completed the confinement portion of his sentence, however, and he has been removed from the United States and may not return. Therefore, the appeal is moot. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 382-83 (5th Cir.2007).

Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED AS MOOT.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R, 47.5.4.
