Alberto Gonzales, ) RESPONDENT’S UNOPPOSED

Respondent. )

___________________________________ )

Respondents respectfully move to dismiss the petition for writ of habeas corpus for mootness,

as petitioner Balwant Singh Brar was released from custody on an order of supervision on April 11,

2007. See Attachment A (Order of Supervision). 

Because petitioner has been released on an order of supervision, and is no longer in detention,

his habeas petition challenging the length of his confinement is moot, and the petition should be

dismissed. Cf. Picrin-Peron v. Rison, 930 F.2d 773 (9 Cir. 1991) (habeas petition dismissed as th

moot because INS Director had released (paroled) alien petitioner). Counsel for petitioner advises

that she does not oppose this motion.
