USDC No. 3:06-CR-155-1
Before GARZA, DENNIS, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Joseph W. Bobo, III,

“This Court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own motion,
if necessary.” Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). Article III,
section 2, of the Constitution limits federal court jurisdiction to actual cases and
controversies. Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998). The case-or-controversy

requirement demands that “some concrete and continuing injury other than the
now-ended incarceration or parole – some ‘collateral consequence’ of the
conviction – must exist if the suit is to be maintained.” Id. at 7.
Counsel asserts that there are no nonfrivolous issues relating to the
district court’s revocation of Bobo’s supervised release and sentence of nine
months in prison. During the pendency of this appeal, Bobo completed his nine-
month term of imprisonment. The judgment imposed no further supervised
release term. Accordingly, there is no case or controversy for this court to
address, and this appeal is DISMISSED as moot. Counsel’s motion to withdraw
is DENIED as unnecessary.
