No. CV-09-1997-PHX-FJM

ORDER

The court has before it petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2241 (doc. 1), in which he contends that his continued detention by the Department

of Homeland Security is unlawful. We also have before us the Report and Recommendation

by the United States Magistrate Judge (doc. 9). No objections were filed. The Magistrate

Judge recommends dismissing the habeas petition as moot because petitioner was released

from custody on November 9, 2009, and removed to Tanzania.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), we accept the recommended decision of the

Magistrate Judge concluding that petitioner’s release and removal have rendered his petition

moot. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED DISMISSING the petition for writ of habeas corpus

(doc. 1). 

DATED this 13th day of April, 2010.
