Arredondo v. Longshore, et al

Filing 14

ORDER Dismissing Case for lack of jurisdiction, by Judge John L. Kane on 12/03/2014. (athom, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 14-cv-01436-JLK
MARTHA LIRA ARREDONDO,
Petitioner,
v.
JOHN LONGSHORE, Field Office Director, U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement; JEH CHARLES JOHNSON, Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security;
THOMAS S. WINKOWSKI, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement; ERIC HOLDER, Attorney General, United States of America;
Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING CASE
Kane, J.
As Petitioner is no longer in custody, her habeas claim is moot. See, e.g., Jordan v. Sosa,
654 F.3d 1012,1023 (10th Cir. 2011) (“The mootness doctrine provides that although there may
be an actual and justiciable controversy at the time the litigation is commenced, once that
controversy ceases to exist, the federal court must dismiss the action for want of jurisdiction.”)
(citation omitted). Accordingly, I dismiss this case for lack of jurisdiction.
