Adonis Sacerio-Subirat v. Merick Garland et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Central District of California ordered petitioner Adonis Sacerio-Subirat to show cause why his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition should not be dismissed as moot. The order explains that respondents reported petitioner had been removed from the United States and warns that failure to respond could result in dismissal for mootness, lack of prosecution, or noncompliance with court orders.

Holdings

1. The court determined that petitioner's removal and resulting release under the stated circumstances would moot the detention petition, and therefore ordered petitioner to show cause why the petition should not be dismissed as moot.
2. Failure to timely return the required form or otherwise respond in writing could be deemed consent to voluntary dismissal or could result in immediate closure for lack of prosecution and noncompliance with court orders.

Questions Presented

1. Whether petitioner's removal from the United States rendered his § 2241 challenge to immigration detention moot.
2. Whether petitioner should be required to show cause why the petition should not be dismissed as moot.
