PER CURIAM: Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, David Christian Viado raises arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Brown, 920 F.2d 1212, 1216-17 (5th Cir.1991), abrogated on other grounds by United States v. Candia, 454 F.3d 468, 472-73 (5th Cir.2006), which held that 18 U.S.C. § 3584(
a) authorizes a district court to order a federal sentence to run consecutively to a yet-to-be-imposed state sentence. He asks that his appeal be held in abeyance pending a possible resolution of the issue by the Supreme Court; however, that Court recently affirmed our ruling in a case raising the identical issue. United States v. Setser, 607 F.3d 128, 131—32 & n. 2 (5th Cir.2010), aff'd, - U.S. -, 132 S.Ct. 1463, 182 L.Ed.2d 455 (2012). The Government moves to dismiss the appeal as moot and, in the • alternative, moves for
summary affirmance or for an extension of time to file a merits brief. The Government is correct that the appeal is moot as record evidence shows that Viado is not subject to a potential state sentence and his federal sentence cannot be consecutive to a nonexistent sentence. See Rocky v. King, 900 F.2d 864, 867 (5th Cir.1990). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED AS MOOT. All other pending motions are DENIED. APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTIONS FOR
SUMMARY AFFIRMANCE, EXTENSION OF TIME, AND TO HOLD APPEAL IN ABEYANCE DENIED. Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
