United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KORNG SEE,

Petitioner,

v.

DAVID JENNINGS, et al.,

Respondent.

Case No. 17-cv-00225 NC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR 

ADDITIONAL BRIEFING 

REGARDING MOOTNESS OF 

SEE’S HABEAS PETITION

Re: Dkt. Nos. 1, 21

The Court reviewed the parties’ March 17, 2017, Joint Status Report, and notes that 

Korng See was released from ICE custody. Dkt. No. 21. The immigration judge 

administratively closed See’s case because of the failure to find a Lahu Yellow interpreter, 

though he declined to terminate the removal proceedings. Id. at 2. 

The parties disagree as to whether See’s habeas petition before the Court is now 

moot. Id. at 3-4. See argues the petition is not moot because ICE has broad discretion to 

re-detain him, while the government argues that because See is out of custody, the Court 

has no further relief to offer. The Court ORDERS the parties to file supplemental briefing 

regarding the mootness of the habeas petition. This supplemental briefing may not exceed

five pages and must be filed with the Court by March 28, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
