TEXT ORDER denying 8 Motion to Discontinue as moot. This habeas case was closed on May 6, 2026, pursuant to a stipulation by the parties. ECF Nos. 6, 7 (noting a stipulation of dismissal generally divests the court of jurisdiction). The motion to discontinue presents no legal authority as to why such circumstances "prevent[]" Respondents from removing Petitioner or "prevent[s]" Petitioner from voluntarily departing from the United States if that is what he "desires." This action remains closed. SO ORDERED. Signed by Hon. Meredith A. Vacca on 5/28/26. (NWA) (Entered: 05/28/2026)
