United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Guadalupe Parra-escobedo, Defendant-appellant, 976 F.2d 738 (9th Cir. 1992)

 Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 976 F.2d 738 (9th Cir. 1992) Submitted Sept. 18, 1992. *Decided Sept. 23, 1992

Before WIGGINS, KOZINSKI and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

Parra-Escobedo has fully served the sentence which he challenges on this appeal. Appellant's Brief at 2. While any sentencing error the district court may have committed is regrettable, a favorable ruling would no longer be of benefit to Parra-Escobedo. The federal courts may only entertain live cases and controversies. See generally U.S. Const. art. III. Because Parra-Escobedo "elected only to attack [his] sentence [ ], and since [his] sentence [ ] expired during the course of these proceedings, this case is moot." Lane v. Williams, 455 U.S. 624, 631 (1982).

DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
