ORDER

Before the court is Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2241(doc. #1). On May 14, 2008, United States Magistrate Judge Bernardo P.

Velasco issued a Report and Recommendation (“R & R”) (doc. # 31) in accordance with

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). The R & R recommended that the Petition be granted. 

Respondents have stated they will comply with the R&R rather than object to it. They

now move the court to dismiss the Petition as moot. (Doc. # 34.) Respondents’ voluntary

compliance with an adverse judicial decision does not moot the case. Chemical

Producers and Distributors Association v. Helliker, 463 F.3d 871, 877 (9th Cir. 2006).

The court has reviewed the R & R and agrees with the magistrate judge's

determinations. Accordingly, the court will accept the R & R and grant the Petition for

Writ of Habeas Corpus. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may

accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by

the magistrate judge”).
