Entry Dismissing Action and Directing Entry of Final Judgment
I.
James Eiseman brings this action for habeas corpus relief challenging the validity of a
disciplinary proceeding identified as No. CIC 16-11-0190. Through an administrative order, the
challenged proceeding has been dismissed. This development removes the “case or controversy”
from the action, which must therefore be dismissed as moot. As dismissal for mootness is a
dismissal for lack of jurisdiction. The respondent’s motion to dismiss on that basis Dkt. [13] is
granted.
Judgment consistent with this Entry will issue in a separate order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
