Case No. 4:19-cv-1576-CLM-JEO

MEMORANDUM OPINION 

The magistrate judge entered a report on February 26, 2020, recommending 

the court grant the Government’s motion to dismiss Kinunga’s petition as moot due 

to Kinunga’s removal to the Democratic Republic of the Congo on February 22, 

2020. (Doc. 15). Kinunga has not filed any objections to the report, despite being 

advised of his right to do so. 

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the 

court file, including the report and recommendation, the court ADOPTS the 

magistrate judge’s report and ACCEPTS his recommendation. Accordingly, 

Respondent’s motion to dismiss is due to be granted. The court will dismiss this 

matter by separate order. 

DONE this 23rd day of March, 2020.
