No. 25-50785

Garza completed the prison term imposed upon revocation of his supervised release, and he was released from custody. His revocation sentence did not include an additional term of supervision. Accordingly, there is no longer a case or controversy for us to address. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7-8, 12-14 (1998).

The appeal is DISMISSED as moot, and the motion to withdraw is DENIED as unnecessary.
