ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On February 10, 2010, Manpreet Singh (A070-198-220) filed a pro se Petition for

Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 seeking his immediate release from

custody on the grounds that his detention with no prospect that his removal would be effected

in the reasonably foreseeable future was not authorized by law. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533

U.S. 678 (2001) (when there is no reasonable likelihood that a foreign government will

accept an alien’s return in the reasonably foreseeable future, the INS may not detain the alien

for more than the presumptively reasonable period of six months).

Respondent has filed a Suggestion of Mootness (Doc. #3) asserting that Petitioner was

removed from the United States on March 10, 2010, and that he is, therefore, no longer

subject to detention. A habeas corpus petition filed by a petitioner who “challenge[s] only

the length of his detention, as distinguished from the lawfulness of the deportation order, . . . .

[is] rendered moot by his removal.” Abdala v. INS, 488 F.3d 1061, 1062 (9th Cir. 2007)

Accordingly, Petitioner will be required to show good cause why this action should not be

dismissed as moot.
