 Criminal Case No. 13-cr-1554 

Civil Case No.: 16-cv-2634 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

VACATE, SET ASIDE, OR 

CORRECT SENTENCE UNDER 28

On October 24, 2016 Petitioner, proceeding pro se, filed a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2255 to vacate, set aside, or correct sentence by person in federal custody. Shortly after the 

briefing was completed on the motion, Petitioner was released from custody on December 21, 

2017. By its terms, section 2255 is applicable only to prisoners in custody. See United States v. 

Kramer, 195 F.3d 1129, 1130 (9th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, the Court DENIES Petitioner’s 

Motion as moot. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
