Case No.: 4:17-cv-0340-KOB-JEO

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is a habeas corpus action under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, filed by Petitioner Ahmed Alaa
Abdelmguid, pro se. Petitioner challenges the legality of his continued detention by federal
immigration authorities pending his removal from the United States under the Immigration and
Nationality Act. (See Doc.1). Respondents have moved to dismiss the action as moot, on the
ground that Petitioner has been removed from the United States. (Doc. 13).
Respondents’ motion is supported by a declaration by a Supervisory Detention and
Deportation Officer who states that Petitioner was removed from the United States on March 27,
2018. (Doc. 13-1). As a result, Petitioner’s habeas corpus claim for release under an order of
supervision or for repatriation is moot because the court can no longer provide meaningful relief.
See Nyaga v. Ashcroft, 323 F.3d 906, 913 (11th Cir. 2003). Respondents’ motion is due to be
granted and this action is due to be dismissed. A separate Final Order will be entered.
DONE and ORDERED this 5th day of April, 2018.
