Case: 17-14214 Date Filed: 01/22/2019 Page: 1 of 2 [DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 17-14214 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ D.C. Docket No. 2:98-cr-00108-LSC-TMP-2 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus BACKARI MACKEY, a.k.a. Bakari Mackey, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama ________________________ (January 22, 2019) Before WILLIAM PRYOR, GRANT and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Kevin L. Butler, appointed counsel for Backari Mackey in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the Case: 17-14214 Date Filed: 01/22/2019 Page: 2 of 2 appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s order modifying the terms of Mackey’s supervised release is AFFIRMED. 1 1 We note that Mackey has apparently satisfied the district court’s special supervisedrelease condition that he reside in a halfway house for six months, and that he is no longer subject to that condition. To the extent this renders his appeal moot, the proceedings are hereby dismissed. See United States v. Farmer, 923 F.2d 1557, 1568 (11th Cir. 1991) (holding that appeal from sentence was rendered moot by the defendant’s release from custody). 2
