Case No.: 4:12-cv-3823-JFG-PWG

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This case is before the court on the Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss as Moot filed June 21,
2013. (Doc. 7). In their motion, the Respondents note that the Petitioner was removed from the
United States on May 30, 2013. (Doc. 7-1). Because the 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, the Respondents’
motion to dismiss is due to be granted and the petition is due to be dismissed.
The court will enter a separate Order in conformity with this Memorandum Opinion.
DONE and ORDERED this 27th day of November, 2013.
