ask the Court to vacate his previous sentence and re-sentence him, but do not challenge 

his convictions. (See Docket No. 129 (“Because a conviction under § 844(i) is no longer 

a crime of violence after [Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015)] and because 

Mr. Webb has shown that he is otherwise entitled to relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, he 

respectfully requests that this Court grant his motion, vacate the sentence, and re-sentence 

him.”); Docket No. 137 (same).) 

The Court takes judicial notice that, on December 11, 2017, while Movant’s 

motions were pending, he was released from the Bureau of Prisons’ custody. See Federal 

Bureau of Prisons Website, Inmate Locater Detail for Michael Lee Webb, Register No. 

29149-198, available at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/; Qureshi v. Sanders, 563 F. 

Supp. 2d 1154, 1156 n.2 (C.D. Cal. 2008) (taking judicial notice of Bureau of Prisons’ 

(“BOP’s) “Inmate Locator” website that showed petitioner’s release from BOP’s 

custody). 

As a result, Movant’s motions are moot. See Aaron v. Pepperas, 790 F.2d 1360, 

1361-62 (9th Cir. 1986) (concluding petitioner’s habeas petition moot where petitioner

has satisfied his sentence and “merely contests the imposition and duration of his 

sentence”). Therefore, Movant’s motions are denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
