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.
