Case No. 4:15-cv-00097-LSC-JEO

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On January 20, 2015, the Petitioner, a citizen of India, filed the instant petition for a writ

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, challenging his continued detention at the

Etowah County Detention Center. (Doc. 1). The case is now before the court on the

Respondents’ motion to dismiss the petition as moot. (Doc. 12). In their motion, the

Respondents note that the Petitioner has been deported from the United States.1 

 Because the Petitioner has been deported, there is no longer any relief that can be

provided to him and his petition is moot. See Nyaga v. Ashcroft, 323 F.3d 906, 913 (11th Cir.

2003) (“a case must be dismissed as moot if the court can no longer provide ‘meaningful

relief’”). Accordingly, this matter is due to be dismissed. Khader v. Holder, 843 F. Supp. 2d

1202 (N.D. Ala. 2011). A separate order will be entered.

1

In their motion, the Respondents state that the Petitioner was deported on October 14, 2014. 

However, it appears from the Declaration of Bryan S. Pitman, Supervisory Detention and Deportation

Officer of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Gadsden, Alabama, which the

Respondents attached as an exhibit to their motion, that the Petitioner was actually deported on March

31, 2015. (See Doc. 12-1).
