J.I.N.D. v. Warden, Stewart Detention Center

Summary

The magistrate judge recommends dismissing as moot a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition filed by J.I.N.D. because the petitioner was removed from the United States and was no longer in the respondent’s custody. The recommendation further proposes granting the respondent’s second motion to dismiss and terminating the first motion as moot.

Holdings

1. The petition is moot because Petitioner's removal from the United States and loss of custody deprived the Court of the ability to provide the requested meaningful relief of a writ of habeas corpus and release from custody.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Petitioner's § 2241 habeas petition became moot after Petitioner was removed from the United States and was no longer in Respondent's custody.
2. Whether Respondent's second motion to dismiss should be granted and the first motion to dismiss terminated as moot.
