JEFFERSON SESSIONS, et al.,
Respondents.

14

Petitioner brought this 28 U.S.C. § 2241 immigration habeas action to obtain release from

15

immigration detention. On January 16, 2018, respondents moved to dismiss. Dkt. 7. On March

16

21, 2018, the parties filed a stipulated motion to dismiss. Dkt. 14. The parties agree that because

17

petitioner has been removed to Ghana, this action is moot. Accordingly, the Court recommends

18

that the parties’ stipulated motion to dismiss, Dkt. 14, be GRANTED; respondents’ motion to

19

dismiss, Dkt. 7, be DENIED as moot; and this action be DISMISSED without prejudice and

20

without costs or fees to either party. A proposed order accompanies this Report and

21

Recommendation.
