UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JUANITO OLIVAS-CASTANEDA, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING AS MOOT DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR COMPASSIONATE RELEASE
(ECF No. 108).
JOHN A. HOUSTON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pending before the Court is Defendant Juanito Olivas-Castaneda's (“Olivas-Castaneda”), pro se Motion to Reduce Sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). (“Mot.”, ECF No. 108). Olivas-Castaneda contends he is eligible for a sentence reduction based upon, inter alia, a change in the sentencing guidelines pursuant to the First Step Act.
Olivas-Castaneda pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846. (Plea Agreement, ECF No. 60). On March 23, 2015, this Court sentenced Olivas-Castaneda to 120-months in custody, followed by a term of five years of supervised release. (Judgment, ECF No. 85). Olivas-Castaneda was released from custodial confinement on December 22, 2022, accordingly, his motion for compassionate release is denied as moot. See Murphy v. Hunt, 455 U.S. 478, 481 (1982) (“[A] case becomes moot when the issues presented are no longer live or the parties lack a legally cognizable interest in the outcome.” (internal citations and quotations omitted)); see also United States v. Villalobos-Torres, Case No.: 18-cr-03243-JAH, 2022 WL 2541279 (S.D. Cal. Jul. 7, 2022); United States v. Sanchez, No. 16-CR-2077-BEN, 2021 WL 5999764 (S.D. Cal. Dec. 17, 2021).
