Petitioner,
v.
JOHN KELLY, et al.,
Respondents.

Case No. 4:17-cv-00276-VEH-SGC

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This case is before the court on Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss as Moot (Doc. 6), filed May
3, 2017. In the motion, Respondents note Petitioner was released from ICE custody on March 23,
2017 (Id. at 1; Doc. 6-1 at 1). Because Petitioner has been released, the court can no longer provide
meaningful relief. Thus, the court finds that the petition for writ of habeas corpus is moot. See
Weinstein v. Bradford, 423 U.S. 147, 149 (1975); Ijaoba v. Holder, 4:12-cv-03792-JHH-RRA, 2013
WL 1490927 at *1 (N.D. Ala. 2013). 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 ORDERED this 8th day of May, 2017.

VIRGINIA EMERSON HOPKINS
United States District Judge
