Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
JOSE CARDONA-RAMIREZ, also known as Martin Lopez-Munoz
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 3:07-CR-00046
Before STEWART, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The sole question raised in this appeal is whether Defendant-Appellant
Jose Cardona-Ramirez’s illegal reentry sentence was improperly enhanced by
eight levels on the ground that his prior California possession conviction
amounted to an aggravated felony. According to the Bureau of Prisons website,
Cardona-Ramirez is scheduled to complete his term of imprisonment April 14,
2008. Because his release is imminent, this Court cannot usefully grant the only
relief to which Appellant would have been entitled: re-sentencing.
