UNITED STATES v. PEREZ SALINAS (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Sergio PEREZ-SALINAS, a.k.a. Paulino Perez-Salinas, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 18-15115

Decided: March 18, 2019

Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, WILSON, and HULL, Circuit Judges.

Sara C. Sweeney, U.S. Attorney Service - Middle District of Florida, U.S. Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee Rosemary Cakmis, Donna Lee Elm, Robert Godfrey, Stephen John Langs, Federal Public Defender's Office, Orlando, FL, for Defendant-Appellant

Sergio Perez-Salinas appeals the district court's order of detention pending trial. After he filed this appeal, however, he pleaded guilty to the only charge in the indictment and was adjudicated guilty of it by the district court. He is now being held pending sentencing.

Because release pending sentencing is governed by a different statute than pretrial release, compare 18 U.S.C. § 3142, with id. § 3143(a), the Court ordered the parties to file letter briefs discussing whether this appeal should be dismissed as moot. Perez-Salinas and the government each filed a letter brief agreeing that this appeal has been rendered moot. We agree with them. This appeal is DISMISSED AS MOOT.
