(Doc. 1). The respondent asks the Court to dismiss this action as moot. (Doc. 10). Mr. Karaja was released from ICE custody on October 11, 2017 under an order of supervision. (Doc. 10-1, pp. 1-2). Therefore, Mr. Karaja’s habeas corpus claim is moot because the Court no longer can provide meaningful relief. See Nyaga v. Ashcroft, 323 F.3d 906, 913 (11th Cir. 2003); see also Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7-8 (1998) (after a habeas petitioner is released from custody, he must demonstrate collateral consequences to avoid the mootness doctrine). The Court will grant the respondent’s motion and dismiss this action by separate order.
