IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

 

 On July 17, 2015, Petitioner Constantino Najera-Diaz, through counsel, filed a 

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1). On October 

21, 2015, Respondents filed a notice indicating that the Department of Homeland 

Security had released Petitioner from custody on October 14, 2015, and that this case was 

therefore moot. (Doc. 15.) Petitioner then moved to dismiss this case on that basis. (Doc. 

17.) United States Magistrate Judge Eileen S. Willet has issued a Report and 

Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court grant Petitioner’s motion and 

dismiss the petition. (Doc. 18.) 

 Judge Willet advised the parties that they had fourteen (14) days to file objections 

to the R&R. (Doc. 18 at 2, citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72; United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 

F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003).) However, having reviewed the record de novo, and 

finding both parties have asked that this case be disposed of for the very same reason, the 

Court will adopt the R&R without further delay and dismiss the petition as moot. See 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole 

Constantino Najera-Diaz, 

 

Petitioner, 

vs. 

Loretta E. Lynch, et al., 

Respondents.

1. That Magistrate Judge Eileen S. Willet’s Report and Recommendation 

(Doc. 18) is accepted and adopted by the Court;

(Doc. 1) and this action are dismissed as moot; 

3. That a certificate of appealability and leave to proceed in forma pauperis on 

appeal are denied; and 

4. That the Clerk of Court shall terminate this action. 

 Dated this 29th day of January, 2016.

Honorable Steven P. Logan

United States District Judge
