UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PER SUNE ALFTIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN F. KELLY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 17-cv-01052-SI 

Related Case No. 16-cr-00239 SI

to the date set for Alftin’s voluntary surrender. For the reasons set forth at the hearing, the Court 

does not find it appropriate to grant relief requested, and DENIES the motion. The Court has been 

informed that on March 10, 2017, Alftin voluntarily surrendered to Taft Correctional Institution.

At the hearing, counsel for the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) agreed to send a letter to Taft 

requesting that Taft expeditiously make the request to U.S. Customs and Immigration 

Enforcement (“ICE”) for a determination of Alftin’s deportability status. Further, counsel for 

defendants stated that she would request (through ICE counsel) that ICE appropriately expedite 

the process to make the deportability determination after ICE receives the BOP request.

Plaintiff’s petition for mandamus seeks the same relief as the motion for a temporary 

restraining order. In light of the denial of that motion and the fact that Alftin has surrendered to
