ORDER DISMISSING CASE and granting 11 MOTION to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction filed by Jeff Charles Johnson, Ricardo A. Wong, Loretta Lynch, Warden. Signed by Judge David R. Herndon on 11/25/15. (lmp)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

AREJ DENG DENG MJOK,
Petitioner,
vs.

Civil No. 15-cv-1091-DRH-CJP

WARDEN of PULASKI DETENTION
CENTER,
Respondent.

MEMORANDUM and ORDER
HERNDON, District Judge:
Petitioner Arej Deng Deng Mjok is a citizen of South Sudan and is subject to
a final order of removal. At the time he filed his petition under 28 U.S.C. §2241,
he was being held at the Pulaski County Detention Center, awaiting removal. In
his petition, Mjok argues that he has been held for more than the presumptively
reasonable period of six months established by Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678
(2001), that his removal is not likely to occur in the reasonably foreseeable future.
He seeks to be released from custody.
It appears that petitioner has received the relief he seeks.

Respondent

moves to dismiss the petition as moot because petitioner was released under an

ICE order of supervision on November 4, 2015.
Accordingly, Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 11) is GRANTED.
The cause of action is DISMISSED with prejudice.
The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 25th day of November, 2015.
