MEMORANDUM OPINION
This case is before the court on Respondents’ Motion to
Dismiss as Moot (Doc. # 13), filed April 3, 2014.

In their motion,

Respondents note that Petitioner was removed from the United States
on March 27, 2014.

(Doc. # 13-1).

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 this 9th day of April, 2014.
