Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. *2 USCA4 Appeal: 23-7090 Doc: 5 Filed: 06/17/2024 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: James Ernest Gandy, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). Our review of the record confirms that Gandy completed his imprisonment term and is no longer in custody. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as moot. See United States v. Shorter, 27 F.4th 572, 575 (7th Cir. 2022) (holding that “[defendant’s] release from prison render[ed] moot his pursuit of compassionate release”). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED
