Conference Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
LARRY MASTERS,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-89-CR-322-2
--------------------
October 19, 1999
Before JONES, SMITH, and STEWART, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:*
Larry Masters appeals the district court’s order extending
his supervised release through August 30, 1999. He contends that
the district court’s basis for the extension was unlawful and
asks this court to vacate the district court’s order and remand
for termination of the term of supervised release.
This extended term of supervised release, however, ended
August 30, 1999. Accordingly, this appeal is moot, as this court
can no longer grant Masters the relief he seeks. See Bailey v.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
