ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner Alex Armando Martinez-Orellana's Motion to Enforce Judgment ("Motion"). (ECF No. 19.) Therein, he "reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) only returned 12 of the 950 dollars that he had in his wallet when he was apprehended." (Id. at 1.) As such, Martinez-Orellana seeks an order "requiring ICE to return all of his personal belongings, including the $938 in cash that was not returned." (Id. at 2.) Since Martinez-Orellana filed the Motion, the Government has represented that "the Laramie County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that it is in possession of Petitioner's missing money and intends to reimburse him these funds in due course." (ECF No. 37 at 2.) On June 29, 2026, Martinez-Orellana confirmed that he has been fully reimbursed. (ECF No. 46 at 1.) Given this confirmation, as well as the Court's view that this reimbursement is the sole remedy available to Petitioner pursuant to the Motion, (See ECF No. 19 at 3 (seeking only a single remedy: "an order requiring Respondents to return these funds")), it is DENIED AS MOOT. SO ORDERED by Judge William J. Martinez on 6/30/2026. Text Only Entry(wjmja, ) (Entered: 06/30/2026)
