MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
J. HOLLINGSWORTH,

Respondent.

_________________________________________ :
Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 in
June, 2015, while he was incarcerated at F.C.I. Fort Dix, in Fort Dix, New Jersey. The
respondent was ordered to file an answer to the habeas petition. On August 21, 2015, the Court
received a notice of change of address from petitioner which now indicated that he was
incarcerated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, New York.
On September 3, 2015, this Court received a letter from respondent which stated that
petitioner was released from federal custody on September 2, 2015. Indeed, the Federal Bureau
of Prisons website confirms that petitioner was released on September 2, 2015. See
http://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ (last visited on September 16, 2015).
As of today’s date, petitioner has not updated the Court with his new address in violation
of Local Civil Rule 10.1. See L. Civ. R. 10.1(a) (“Counsel and/or unrepresented parties must
advise the Court of any change in their or their client’s address within seven days of being
apprised of such change by filing a notice of said change with the Clerk.”). Therefore, this Court
will administratively terminate this case.

Accordingly, IT IS this

16th day of September_, 2015,

ORDERED that the Clerk shall ADMINISTRATIVELY TERMINATE this matter for
failure to comply with L. Civ. R. 10.1, with the right to re-open upon petitioner updating his
contact information and satisfying the appropriate Rules.
