ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On April 27, 2010, Shiu Kumar (A095-785-296) filed a pro se Petition for Writ of

Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 seeking his immediate release from custody on

the grounds that his detention with no prospect that his removal would be effected in the

reasonably foreseeable future was not authorized by law. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S.

678 (2001) (when there is no reasonable likelihood that a foreign government will accept an

alien’s return in the reasonably foreseeable future, the INS may not detain the alien for more

than the presumptively reasonable period of six months).

Respondent has filed a Suggestion of Mootness (Doc. #4) asserting that Petitioner was

released on an order of supervision on May 13, 2010. A habeas corpus “petitioner’s release

from detention under an order of supervision ‘moots his challenge to the legality of his

extended detention.’” Abdala v. INS, 488 F.3d 1061, 1064 (9th Cir. 2007) (quoting Riley

v. INS, 310 F.3d 1253, 1256-57 (10th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, Petitioner will be required

to show good cause why this action should not be dismissed as moot.
