UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. MICHAEL EDWARD CATON, Defendant-Appellant.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Argued and Submitted August 31, 2022 Seattle, Washington

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington No. 3:21-cr-05040-BHS-1 Benjamin H. Settle, District Judge, Presiding

Before: HAWKINS, McKEOWN, and SANCHEZ, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM

Michael Edward Caton appeals the district court's imposition of an electronic search condition as a special condition of supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. While this appeal was pending, the district court revoked Caton's previous term of supervised release and imposed a new supervised release term that does not include an electronic search condition. Because Caton is no longer subject to the condition he challenges on appeal, "there is nothing for us to remedy," and we dismiss his appeal as moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 18 (1998).

DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
