TEXT ORDER: Several habeas petitioners in similar cases have recently informed the Court that they are no longer in custody. Consistent with "the duty of counsel to bring to the federal tribunal's attention, without delay, facts that may raise a question of mootness," Arizonans for Official English v. Arizona, 520 U.S. 43, 68 n.23 (1997) (quotation marks omitted), the Court directs the parties to file a status report, within 7 days, stating whether the Petitioner remains in federal custody. Going forward, the parties must promptly file a status report if and when the Petitioner is released, including by removal or on bond. This Notice of Electronic Filing is the Official ORDER for this entry. No document is attached.cc: counsel (JM) (Entered: 03/10/2026)
