United States v. Juan De La Cruz

Case: 11-20473 Document: 00512035555 Page: 1 Date Filed: 10/29/2012 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED October 29, 2012 No. 11-20473 Summary Calendar Lyle W. Cayce Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. JUAN JOSE DE LA CRUZ, Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 4:06-CR-455-2 Before SMITH, DENNIS, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Juan Jose De La Cruz appeals the 15-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. “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). The website of the Bureau of Prisons shows that De La Cruz was released from prison on June 20, 2012, and the district court imposed no further term of supervised release. Therefore, De La Cruz has no “concrete and continuing injury,” and there is no case or controversy over which this court may exercise jurisdiction under Article III, § 2, of the Constitution. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998). Consequently, the appeal is DISMISSED as MOOT. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
