Case No. 4:11-cv-04190-MHH-PWG

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This case is before the court on Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss as Moot (Doc. # 16), filed
December 9, 2013. In their motion, Respondents note that Petitioner was removed from the United
States on December 4, 2013. (Doc. # 16-1). Because Petitioner has been removed, the court can no
longer provide meaningful relief. Thus, the court finds that the petition for writ of habeas corpus is
moot. See Nyaga v. Ashcroft, 323 F.3d 906, 913 (11th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, Respondents’
motion to dismiss is due to be granted and the petition is due to be dismissed.
A separate order will be entered.
DONE and ENTERED this 13th day of December, 2013.

MADELINE HUGHES HAIKALA
U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
