UNITED STATES v. IVERS (2021)

[Unpublished]

While on supervised release for threatening to murder a federal judge, see 18 U.S.C. § 115(a)(1)(B), and for communicating by interstate transmission a threat to injure the person of another, see id. § 875(c), Robert Ivers, without permission from the court or his probation officer, knowingly left the judicial district (North Dakota) where he was residing. The district court ¹ therefore revoked his supervised release and sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and thirty months' supervised release. As a condition of release, the court ordered Ivers to reside for 180 days in a North Dakota residential reentry center. Ivers asserts that the court abused its discretion in imposing this condition.

Since the filing of this appeal, the court has revoked Ivers's supervised release yet again and entered a new judgment against him, which Ivers challenges in another appeal. See United States v. Ivers, No. 20-3422 (8th Cir. 2020). Because Ivers is no longer serving the sentence that he challenges in this appeal it is moot, and so we have no jurisdiction over it. See United States v. Drews, 695 F. App'x 174, 175 (8th Cir. 2017) (unpublished per curiam); see also Burton v. Stewart, 549 U.S. 147, 156, 127 S.Ct. 793, 166 L.Ed.2d 628 (2007) (per curiam).

Appeal dismissed.
