FOR APPELLANT: Rajit S. Dosanjh, Assistant United States Attorney, for Carla B. Freedman, United States Attorney for the Northern District of New York, Syracuse, N.Y.
FOR APPELLEE: Lisa A. Peebles, Federal Public Defender, Molly K. Corbett, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Office of the Federal Public Defender, Albany, N.Y.

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the appeal is DISMISSED as moot.
Nakeem Stratton appeals from the district court's judgment of conviction and sentence entered on February 23, 2022. The district court sentenced Defendant to 18 months' imprisonment with no period of supervised release. On appeal, he challenges only the reasonableness of his sentence. Defendant and the Government have both informed this Court that Defendant has completed his sentence, and both take the position that Defendant's appeal is moot. See U.S.C.A. Dkt. Nos. 59-60. Accordingly, we DISMISS Defendant's appeal. See United States v. Chestnut, 989 F.3d 222, 224 (2d Cir. 2021).
