Ahcene v. Gonzales, et al.

Civ. S-06-1839 LKK KJM

Stip. & Order 2

Petitioner’s response is due by January 30, 2007.

Respondent believes and has informed Petitioner’s counsel that

Petitioner Azrine Ahcene was deported from the United States to Algeria

on or about December 7, 2006. If this is true, then all of the claims

in Mr. Ahcene’s petition regarding the legality of his detention by

United States immigration officials are moot. However, Respondent has

not yet been able to obtain documentation from the Bureau of

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“BICE”) verifying that the

deportation took place. For this reason, the parties cannot yet agree

that the case should be dismissed as moot.

Respondent will continue to seek documentation from BICE verifying

that the deportation took place. Once Respondent obtains this

documentation and provides Petitioner’s counsel with a copy, the

parties will promptly agree to dismissal of the petition as moot and

file the appropriate stipulation and order with the Court. However, in

the mean time, the parties ask that the briefing dates be extended so

that the parties can avoid briefing issues that are, in all likelihood,

already moot. The parties ask that the Court approve the following

briefing schedule:

Petitioner’s opening brief and/or amended petition for

writ of habeas corpus shall be due no later than January

22, 2007;

Respondents’ answering brief shall be due no later than

February 19, 2007; and
