United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 16-4199 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellee v. Daniel Drews lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha ____________ Submitted: April 3, 2017 Filed: August 11, 2017 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SMITH, Chief Judge, ARNOLD and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Daniel Drews violated the terms of his supervised release and was sentenced, in November 2016, to 8 months of imprisonment and 24 more months of supervised release. He appealed that sentence, and the appeal was submitted to this panel on April 3, 2017. Since the appeal was submitted, Drews has served his full term of imprisonment, had his supervision revoked again, and been sentenced to 6 more months of imprisonment with no more supervised release. “Final judgment in a criminal case means sentence. The sentence is the judgment.” Burton v. Stewart, 549 U.S. 147, 156 (2007) (per curiam) (quoting Berman v. United States, 302 U.S. 211, 212 (1937)). Because Drews is no longer serving the sentence, and therefore the judgment, now on appeal, the appeal is moot. See United States v. Maxie, No. 16-1448, 2017 WL 3084423 (8th Cir. July 20, 2017) (per curiam). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. ______________________________ -2-
