Case No. 4:17-cv-01949-VEH-SGC

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This case is before the court on Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss, filed
February 26, 2018. (Doc. 7). In the motion, Respondents note Petitioner was removed
from the United States on December 19, 2017. (Id. at 1; see Doc. 7-1 at 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 and ORDERED this the 28th day of February, 2018.

VIRGINIA EMERSON HOPKINS
United States District Judge
