UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCO OLAYO-XOCHILT,

Petitioner,

v.

MICHAEL L. BENOV, Administrator,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:14-CV-01485-SMS HC

ORDER DISMISSING 

THE PETITION AS MOOT

(Doc. 13) 

Petitioner Marco Olayo-Xochilt is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for 

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 2241. On September 24, 2014, Petitioner, proceeding 

pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, alleging that a 

disciplinary hearing that resulted in multiple disciplinary sanctions against Petitioner was 

impermissibly conducted by a prison official who is not an employee of the Bureau of Prisons. On 

January 26, 2015, Respondent Michael L. Benov, the warden of TCI, moved to dismiss the petition 

as moot since the disciplinary action had been reheard by a Board of Prisons Disciplinary Hearing 

Officer. Petitioner did not respond to the motion to dismiss.

The Court has reviewed the documentation submitted by Respondent in support of the 

motion, including the declaration of Randy J. McWilliams, a Disciplinary Hearing Officer employed 

by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Federal Detention Center, SeaTac, Washington. The Court finds 

Respondent's motion to be supported by evidence establishing resolution of the Petitioner's claim. 

Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES the petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

2241 as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
