DE 1. Although it appears that Hill took steps to pay the required $5.00 filing fee, DE 1-2 (BP-199 form), this Court never received payment. In any event, by late June, Hill had already been entirely released from BOP custody. See https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ (last visited on September 30, 2019). That release renders his petition moot. Demis v. Sniezek, 558 F.3d 508, 512–13 (6th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS as follows: 1. The Court DENIES Hill’s petition, DE 1, as moot. 2. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to strike this matter from the active docket. This the 30th day of September, 2019. Dockets.Justia.com
