United States of America
Plaintiff - Appellee
v.
Todd Stands Alone, formerly known as Todd Brave Crow
Defendant - Appellant
____________
Appeal from United States District Court
for the District of South Dakota - Northern
____________
Submitted: June 18, 2021
Filed: July 20, 2021
[Unpublished]
____________
Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
____________
PER CURIAM.
After Todd Stands Alone violated the conditions of supervised release, the
district court 1 sentenced him to 14 months in prison. On appeal, he challenges the
length of the sentence.
1
The Honorable Charles B. Kornmann, United States District Judge for the
District of South Dakota.
As Stands Alone acknowledges, his recent release from prison moots the
appeal. See Owen v. United States, 930 F.3d 989, 990 (8th Cir. 2019) (holding that
release will moot an appeal when the appellant “challenge[s] only his term of
imprisonment”). No remedy is available to shorten a term of imprisonment that he
has already served, and no one has identified any collateral consequences. See id.;
see also United States v. Dunlap, 719 F.3d 865, 866–68 (8th Cir. 2013) (per curiam)
(dismissing an appeal as moot under similar circumstances). We accordingly
dismiss the appeal.
