Petitioners,

Case No. 17-cv-11910
HON. MARK A. GOLDSMITH

vs.
REBECCA ADDUCCI, et al.,
Respondents.
_______________________________/

ORDER DENYING PETITIONERS’ EMERGENCY MOTION FOR A STAY OF
REMOVAL AS TO AALAN KAMAL (Dkt. 212) AS MOOT
On January 26, 2018, Petitioners filed an emergency motion for a stay of removal as to
Aalan Kamal (Dkt. 212), after being informed by the Government that it did not consider him
protected by the Court’s injunction enjoining removal of those who had final orders of removal on
June 24, 2017. The Government noted that while Kamal’s removal order was entered on June 2,
2017, because he reserved appeal, it did not become a final order of removal until the appeal period
expired on July 3, 2017. The Court subsequently issued a temporary stay of removal as to Kamal
in order to further consider the motion. See 1/26/2018 Order (Dkt. 213).
The Court has since been informed by Petitioners that Kamal was able to file a motion to
reopen in the immigration court, and that his motion was granted. Because he has already received
the relief ordered by the Court’s injunction, the opportunity to file a motion to reopen, and because
he is no longer at risk of immediate removal, the Court denies Petitioners’ motion (Dkt. 212) as
moot.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 25, 2018
Detroit, Michigan
