Summary: We give a short proof of a theorem of \textit{M. Handel} and \textit{L. Mosher} [Subgroup classification in \(\mathrm{Out}(F_n)\). Preprint (2009; \url{arXiv:0908.1255})] stating that any finitely generated subgroup of \(\mathrm{Out}(F_N)\) either contains a fully irreducible automorphism, or virtually fixes the conjugacy class of a proper free factor of \(F_N\), and we extend their result to non finitely generated subgroups of \(\mathrm{Out}(F_N)\).
