No. 13-CV-00166-PHX-PGR (MHB)

 ORDER

Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Burns (Doc.

18), recommending that Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) be

dismissed as moot. 

In his habeas petition Petitioner claimed that under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678

(2001), his detention without a bond hearing for more than six months following the entry

of a final order of removal was unlawful. On August 8, 2013, Respondents filed a Notice to

Court and Suggestion of Mootness indicating that Petitioner was released from custody on

July 17, 2013. (Doc. 16, Ex. 1.) 

Magistrate Burns ordered Petitioner to show cause why the action should not be

dismissed as moot. Petitioner did not respond. Magistrate Judge Burns, having concluded that

the relief requested in Petitioner’s habeas petition had been granted, recommended the

petition be dismissed. Petitioner did not object to the Report and Recommendation. 

Accordingly,
