PER CURIAM:* Atenogenes Corro Balbuena appeals the sentence imposed after his guilty plea to being found in the United States without permission, following his conviction of a felony and subsequent removal. He argues that the district court procedurally erred by upwardly departing under U.S.S.G. ยง 4A1.3(a)(1), based on speculation regarding his family s future living arrangements. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. Case: 11-20284 Document: 00511898496 Page: 2 Date Filed: 06/25/2012 No. 11-20284 After Balbuena filed this appeal, he completed the confinement portion of his sentence and was released from custody. He was removed to Mexico on April 25, 2012. As Balbuena challenges only his sentence, his appeal is now moot. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 382-83 (5th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED. 2
