Manuel A. Molina Marquez v. Lawrence Catletti, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana denied Manuel A. Molina Marquez’s motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction concerning his removal from the United States. The court found that his request regarding removal from New York was moot and that he was unlikely to succeed on his claim that immigration detention was unlawful because he had not received a bond hearing. The court referred his habeas corpus petition to the magistrate judge for consideration and disposition.

Holdings

1. The request was moot because Petitioner had already been transported out of New York when he filed the petition.
2. Petitioner was not entitled to a preliminary injunction because he failed to show that he was likely to succeed on the merits.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Petitioner's request to prevent removal from the Southern District of New York was moot because he had already been transported from New York.
2. Whether Petitioner was entitled to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction preventing his removal from the United States.
3. Whether Petitioner's challenge to detention based on the absence of a bond hearing established a likelihood of success on the merits.
