      Before KING, DeMOSS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

PER CURIAM:

This court previously affirmed the conviction and sentence of Appellant, Cesar Trejo-Hernandez. United States v. Trejo-Hernandez, 149 Fed.Appx. 307 (5th Cir.2005). On January 17, 2007, the Supreme Court vacated our judgment in this case and remanded the case to this court for further consideration in light of Lopez v. Gonzales, — U.S.-, 127 S.Ct. 625, 166 L.Ed.2d 462 (2006).

Following the Supreme Court’s remand we received supplemental letter briefs from both parties with respect to the impact of Lopez. The government concedes and we agree that, under Lopez, the district court erred in imposing an eight-level enhancement for Appellant’s prior drug conviction. In light of this error, the issue on appeal is whether we should vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing or whether the appeal is now moot.

The parties agree that Trejo-Hernandez has been released from prison and remains subject to the terms of his supervised release, but has previously been deported on August 16, 2006. This court recently found a similar case moot when the appellant had already been released from prison and deported. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381 (5th Cir.2007). Because the defendant in Rosenbaum-Alanis was barred from entering the United States, and therefore could not be resentenced, the court could not grant the relief requested. Id. at 383.

We find Rosenbaum-Alanis controlling, and because Trejo-Hernandez is barred from entering the United States, we cannot grant his request to be resentenced. Consequently, the appeal is moot.

The appeal is therefore DISMISSED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
