                                 No. 16-40470
      Jose Salvador Ortiz-Chavira (“Ortiz-Chavira”) challenges his term of
imprisonment, arguing the district court erroneously applied a 12–level
sentencing enhancement based on a previous burglary conviction under Texas
law. Before this court issued its opinion, Ortiz-Chavira completed his term of
imprisonment on September 1, 2017, and was deported that same day. In view
of the foregoing, both parties agree that this appeal is moot. See United States
v. Mejia-Hernandez, 668 F. App’x 555, 556 (5th Cir. 2016); United States v.
Heredia-Holguin, 

, 342 n.3 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc)
(distinguishing “cases largely involv[ing] situations in which a defendant had
completed his term of imprisonment and been deported, yet was still trying to
challenge the term of imprisonment on the ground that the term of supervised
release had not yet expired”).
      Accordingly, this appeal is
                                                                  DISMISSED.
