Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Appeal dismissed

Ct. of Appeals dismissed as moot defendant’s appeal of Dist. Ct.’s revocation of his term of supervised release that was based on defendant’s arrest on state-court burglary charge and two failed drug tests. Dist. Ct. imposed sentence of eight months on said revocation with no additional term of supervised release. Ct. of Appeals had dismissed defendant’s appeal because defendant had been released from custody during appeal without any further supervision and faced no collateral consequences arising out of revocation of his supervised release.
