GARY JAMES ROLLER,

                Defendant-Appellant.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of California
                  Beth Labson Freeman, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted June 21, 2021**

Before:      SILVERMAN, WATFORD, and BENNETT, Circuit Judges.

      Gary James Roller appeals from the district court’s order finding that Roller

violated the terms of his supervised release and reinstating his supervised release

term. We dismiss the appeal as moot.

      During the pendency of this appeal, Roller completed his supervised release

term, thus rendering his appeal moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 14

(1998); United States v. King, 891 F.3d 868, 869-70, 872 (9th Cir. 2018) (applying

Spencer to a supervised release revocation and concluding that appeal from

revocation judgment was moot upon appellant’s completion of his sentence).

Roller’s summary assertion, without any supporting argument, that the “capable of

repetition, yet evading review” exception to mootness applies here is unavailing.

See Spencer, 523 U.S. at 17-18.

      DISMISSED.
