UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

              Plaintiff - Appellee

v.

RONALD CONNER,

              Defendant - Appellant




                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:16-CV-752


Before JOLLY, COSTA, and HO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       This appeal concerns the district court’s order holding Conner in
contempt. On February 4, 2019, we directed both parties to address whether
this case is moot in the light of the district court’s order vacating the contempt
order. In their responses to the court’s directive, both parties acknowledge that
the case is now moot. We agree. The district court vacated the contempt order



       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

                                 No. 17-11417
and released Conner from custody—he is no longer suffering any injury or
limitation as a result of the contempt order, rendering the sole issue on appeal
moot. See Fontenot v. McCraw, 
777 F.3d 741
, 747 (5th Cir. 2015).
                                                      DISMISSED AS MOOT.
