 ORDER

 

In his Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241, the petitioner argued that he was entitled to be released from immigration

detention because his continued detention since the order removing him to India

became final violates Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001). In a Report and

Recommendation (Doc. 17) entered on January 12, 2012, Magistrate Judge

Anderson recommended that the petitioner be released from custody unless the

respondent provided the petitioner with an appropriate bond hearing within 60 days

or showed that he had already received an appropriate post-removal period bond

hearing. On January 13, 2012, the respondent filed a Notice to the Court Regarding

Status of Petitioner’s Travel Documents (Doc. 18), wherein she in part stated that

the petitioner’s removal was imminent because the petitioner’s travel documents

had been received from the government of India on January 6, 2012. On January

27, 2012, the respondent filed her Objections to the Report and Recommendation

(Doc. 20), wherein she stated that the petitioner was scheduled to be removed to

India on that date. On May 31, 2012, the respondent filed a Notice to the Court and

Suggestion of Mootness (Doc. 21), wherein she established that the petitioner was

removed from the United States on January 29, 2012. In light of the petitioner’s

removal, the Court finds that no ruling needs to be made on the Report and

Recommendation given that this action is now moot. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the petitioner’s Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 for a

Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal Custody is denied as moot and that

this action is dismissed. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly.

DATED this 5th day of June, 2012.
