Case No.: 4:12-cv-02559-AKK-JEO

MEMORANDUM OPINION
On July 30, 2012, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus
seeking to be released from custody. (Doc. 1 at 9). This case is currently before
the court on Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss as Moot (doc. 5), filed December 4,
2012. In their motion, Respondents note that Petitioner was removed from the
United States pursuant to an Order of Removal on November 1, 2012. (Doc. 5-1).
Because Petitioner has been removed, the court can no longer provide meaningful
relief. Thus, the Petition is moot. See Nyaga v. Ashcroft, 323 F.3d 906, 913 (11th
Cir. 2003). Accordingly, Respondents’ Motion is due to be granted and the
petition is due to be dismissed without prejudice.
