ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW

CAUSE 

[Doc. #11]

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS 

[Doc. #13]

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS

Petitioner, a detainee of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), has

filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

On May 4, 2007, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition for mootness. Respondent

states Petitioner has been released from custody. In support of this contention, Respondent has

submitted a copy of the Release Notification which shows Petitioner was removed from the United

States on May 2, 2007. See Attachment 1 to Motion to Dismiss. Counsel for Respondent also

responded to the Court’s Order of April 20, 2007, which directed Respondent to show cause why

sanctions should not be imposed for failure to comply with a court order. Counsel states she did not

timely respond to the Court’s order because of medical issues related to her pregnancy and because

she misplaced the case file within her office. It is clear Counsel did not deliberately disregard the

Court’s orders. Her reasons are excusable provided measures are taken to prevent such an oversight

in the future.
