ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

DISMISS PETITION AS MOOT

(Docket No. 7)

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging the December 2005 decision by the Board

of Prison Terms (the “Board”) to deny him parole. Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the

petition as moot on the grounds that petitioner was released from prison on December 2,

2008. (Docket No. 7.) Petitioner has not updated his address, and has not filed opposition

to Respondent’s motion to dismiss. 

 Because Petitioner has been released from prison, the petition for a writ of habeas

corpus is moot. See Fendler v. United States Bureau of Prisons, 846 F.2d 550, 555 (9th

Cir. 1988) (habeas challenge to denial of parole will become moot if petitioner is released

on parole before court considers petition); see also Burnett v. Lampert, 432 F.3d 996,

999-1001 (9th Cir. 2005) (finding habeas petition still moot after petitioner violated

parole and was reincarcerated).

Accordingly, Respondent’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED. The petition for writ

of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is DISMISSED as moot. 

This order terminates Docket No. 7.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
