ORDER

Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging his “prolonged

detention” while awaiting his deportation. (Doc. #1). This Court denied relief. Petitioner

moved for reconsideration. Thereafter the Court of Appeals issued two opinions which this

Court thought might impact Petitioner’s claims and this Court ordering supplemental briefing

from the Government (in the form of a response to the motion for reconsideration). In its

response, the Government advised this Court that Petitioner had a bond hearing set for

October 17, 2008.1

 Petitioner did not file a reply and has not disputed the Government’s

representations regarding the status of this case; thus, the Court has accepted the

Government’s representations as true.

This Court will grant reconsideration to the extent that this Court’s previous order did

not provide Petitioner with any relief. Now, Petitioner is receiving relief in the form of an

individualized bond hearing. Thus, the prior judgment will be vacated. However, the Court

agrees with the Government that, given the status of this case, Petitioner should first pursue

the bond procedures at the agency level before seeking habeas relief in this Court. As a

result, the Court finds this habeas petition to be moot; accordingly, it will be denied without

prejudice.

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the motion for reconsideration (Doc. #27) is granted to the

extent listed below;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the judgment entered at Doc. #26 is vacated;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment denying

the Petition as moot, without prejudice, because Petitioner has been granted an individualized

bond hearing.

DATED this 20th day of November, 2008.
