UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CECIL DEWITT NELSON,

Petitioner,

v.

STEVEN LAKE,

Respondent.

No. 1:19-cv-01487-DAD-SKO (HC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO RELEASE

(Doc. No. 12)

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis with a petition for writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On February 10, 2020, the court denied the petition 

and entered judgment. (Doc. Nos. 10, 11.) On February 14, 2020, petitioner filed the instant 

motion seeking his release pending a determination on the merits of his petition. (Doc. No. 12.) 

Because the petition has already been denied, the motion for release has been rendered moot. 

Accordingly, the motion for release (Doc. No. 12) is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 20, 2020
