ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On September 9, 2008, Vu Nguyen filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 seeking his immediate release from custody on the grounds that

his indefinite detention with no prospect that his removal would be effected in the reasonably

foreseeable future was not authorized by law. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001)

(when there is no reasonable likelihood that a foreign government will accept an alien’s

return in the reasonably foreseeable future, the INS may not detain the alien for more than

the presumptively reasonable period of six months). 

On September 18, 2008, mail sent to Petitioner by the Clerk of Court was returned as

undeliverable (Doc. #3). On October 9, 2008, the action was dismissed as moot (Doc. #4).

On November 21, 2008, the Court granted Petitioner’s motion for reconsideration and the

matter was reinstated (Doc. #8). On December 1, 2008, the copy of the Order reinstating this

action sent to Petitioner by the Clerk of Court was returned as undeliverable (Doc. #9). The

Court has since learned that Petitioner may have been released on an order of supervision on

January 5, 2009.
