Tragas v. Garrett et al Doc. 19 FILED 2023 May-17 AM 10:50 U.S. DISTRICT COURT N.D. OF ALABAMA UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA WESTERN DIVISION JOANNE TRAGAS, Petitioner, v. CHAD GARRETT, et al., Respondent. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No. 7:22-cv-899-LSC-GMB MEMORANDUM OPINION Respondent Warden Neely notified the court that the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) released the petitioner into the custody of Immigrations Customs Enforcement (“ICE”). (Doc. 16). Accordingly, the Magistrate Judge entered a report (Doc. 17) on April 28, 2023, recommending that the amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 4) be dismissed as moot. No objections have been filed. Because the petitioner has been released from BOP custody, the court can no longer provide her meaningful relief. The court therefore finds that the petition for writ of habeas corpus is moot. See Nyaga v. Ashcroft, 323 F.3d 906, 913 (11th Cir. 2003) (holding that “a case must be dismissed as moot if the court can no longer provide ‘meaningful relief’”); see also Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7–8 (1998) (finding that a petitioner must demonstrate collateral consequences to avoid the mootness doctrine once he has been released from custody). Consequently, the court Dockets.Justia.com ADOPTS the report and ACCEPTS the recommendation. The petition is due to be dismissed. A final judgment will be entered. DONE and ORDERED on May 17, 2023. _____________________________ L. Scott Coogler United States District Judge 160704 2
