PER CURIAM:

James Ernest Gandy, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his

motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). Our review of

the record confirms that Gandy completed his imprisonment term and is no longer in

custody. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as moot. See United States v. Shorter, 27

F.4th 572, 575 (7th Cir. 2022) (holding that “[defendant’s] release from prison render[ed]

moot his pursuit of compassionate release”). 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
