Respondents.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This case is before the court on Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss as Moot.
Doc. 36. In the motion, Respondents note Petitioner was removed from the United
States on February 7, 2017. Id. at 2; see doc. 36-1 at 2–3. Because Petitioner has
been removed, the court can no longer provide meaningful relief. Thus, the court
finds 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 the 6th day of March, 2017.
