MEMORANDUM OPINION
Petitioner, a "civil detainee for child support arrears," submitted a 28 U.S.C. ยง 2241
Petition. (ECF No. 1 at 1 (capitalization corrected).) Petitioner sought release from custody.
Petitioner has been released from custody. (ECF No. 3.) Accordingly, by Memorandum Order
entered on April 19, 2024, (ECF No. 6), the Court directed Petitioner, within twenty (20) days of
the date of entry thereof, to show cause why the action should not be dismissed as moot. See
Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998) (observing that petitioner's release caused his habeas
petition to be moot).
More than twenty (20) days have elapsed since the entry of the April 19, 2024
Memorandum Order. Petitioner has not responded. Accordingly, the action will be
DISMISSED AS MOOT.
An appropriate order will accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
Let the Clerk file a copy of the Memorandum Opinion electronically and send a copy to
Petitioner.
