REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

TO THE HONORABLE DAVID G. CAMPBELL, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:

Petitioner Dwight Culton filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 in which he challenges the United States Parole Commission’s decision

to revoke his parole and require him to serve 16 months in custody. (Doc. #1.) On March

5, 2007, the docket reflects that mail sent from the Clerk of the Court to Petitioner was

returned as undeliverable. (Doc. #13.) On May 24, 2007, Respondent filed a Motion to

Dismiss stating that Petitioner is no longer in custody. (Doc. #14.) As such, Respondent

contends that Petitioner’s Petition is now moot. (Doc. #14.)

On August 3, 2007, the Court ordered Petitioner to show cause on or before August

24, 2007, why his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus should not be dismissed as moot in

light of his apparent release from custody. (Doc. #15.) Petitioner was further ordered to

either (1) file a notice of change of address; or (2) show cause why this matter should not be

dismissed for failure to prosecute in light of his failure to file a notice of change of address

as previously ordered by the Court. (Doc. #15.) On August 13, 2007, the docket again

reflects that mail sent from the Clerk of the Court to Petitioner – the Court’s August 3, 2007

Order – was returned as undeliverable. (Doc. #16.) Accordingly, in light of Petitioner’s

apparent release from custody and it appearing that no case or controversy remains, the Court

will recommend that Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be dismissed as moot.

IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED:

That the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. #1)

be DISMISSED AS MOOT.

This recommendation is not an order that is immediately appealable to the Ninth

Circuit Court of Appeals. Any notice of appeal pursuant to Rule 4(a)(1), Federal Rules of

Appellate Procedure, should not be filed until entry of the district court's judgment. The

parties shall have ten days from the date of service of a copy of this recommendation within

which to file specific written objections with the Court. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1);

Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(a), 6(b) and 72. Thereafter, the parties have ten days within which to file a

response to the objections. Failure to timely file objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report

and Recommendation may result in the acceptance of the Report and Recommendation by

the district court without further review. See United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114,

1121 (9th Cir. 2003). Failure to timely file objections to any factual determinations of the

Magistrate Judge will be considered a waiver of a party's right to appellate review of the

findings of fact in an order of judgment entered pursuant to the Magistrate Judge's

recommendation. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 72.

DATED this 27th day of August, 2007.
