Case No.: 2:18-cv-00531-JAD-NJK

[ECF Nos. 8, 9]

On April 13, 2018, the court dismissed this 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition as

10 unexhausted, and judgment was entered.1 Petitioner Yasir Mehmood now moves for
11 reconsideration, asking the court to waive the exhaustion requirement “on humanitarian
12 grounds.”2 After this habeas proceeding was closed, Mehmood filed another § 2241 habeas
13 petition in this court, in which he makes the same—and additional—claims.3 That case was
14 transferred to the proper venue of the Southern District of Florida. I therefore deny the motion
15 for reconsideration in this case as moot and duplicative.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for reconsideration of this

16

17 court’s order dismissing the petition (ECF No. 8) is DENIED; and
