Civil Action Number

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is a habeas corpus action under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, filed by Petitioner
Faye Moustapha Djamil, 1 pro se. Djamil 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. Sheriff Entrekin has
moved to dismiss the action as moot, on the ground that Djamil has been removed
from the United States. Doc. 9.
Sheriff Entrekin’s motion is supported by a declaration by a Supervisory
Detention and Deportation Officer who states that Djamil was removed from the
United States on April 17, 2018. Doc. 9-1. As a result, Djamil’s habeas corpus
claim for release under an order of supervision or for repatriation is moot because

1

Djamil identifies himself as Faye Moustapha Djamil, A209-828-485. Doc. 1. However, Sheriff
Entrekin declares Petitioner’s name is Moustapha Djamil Faye, A209-828-485. Doc. 9-1.
Despite the discrepancy, the alien detainee number confirms Faye Moustapha Djamil and
Moustapha Djamil Faye are one and the same.

the court can no longer provide meaningful relief. See Nyaga v. Ashcroft, 323 F.3d
906, 913 (11th Cir. 2003). Sheriff Entrekin’s motion is due to be granted and this
action is due to be dismissed. A separate Final Order will be entered.
DONE the 12th day of June, 2018.
