PAPERLESS ORDER striking Petitioner's "Emergency Motion for Temporary Release to Attend USCIS Interview" ("Emergency Motion") as it suffers from several deficiencies.First, Petitioner's Emergency Motion is styled as an expedited motion requesting that he be released from custody pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 so that he can attend an immigration interview. (Id. at 1-2.) The Court notes that Petitioner has already filed a habeas corpus petition seeking the same relief--release from custody (DE 1 ). Therefore, the instant Motion appears duplicative and unnecessary. To the extent Petitioner means to allege that he wishes to attend the USCIS interview scheduled for June 22, 2026, he should direct his request to the immigration court and the parties in his immigration case. If, however, the individuals having custody over Petitioner are unable to transport him from his facility to the USCIS for the scheduled interview, the appropriate agency must schedule the June 22, 2026 USCIS interview via ZOOM. Second, although Petitioner designates the Motion as "expedited," it fails to comply with Southern District of Florida Local Rule 7.1(d)(2). Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Petitioner's Emergency Motion is DENIED. The Respondent need not file a response addressing the merits of the Petitioner's Motion.

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. On April 21, 2026, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging his continued detention by immigration officials. (DE 1 .) On June 1, 2026, Respondent filed a "Motion to Dismiss as Moot") ("Motion") (DE 13 ). In the Motion, Respondent advises that the Petition is moot because Petitioner was released from immigration custody on May 27, 2026. (Id. at 1). Because Petitioner has already been released from custody, which is the very relief he sought in his habeas petition, any request for habeas relief is now moot. See e.g., Mehmood v. United States Att'y Gen., 808 F. App'x 911, 913 (11th Cir. 2020) ("[Petitioner's] petition for habeas corpus seeks relief from immigration detention, and that is relief we simply cannot provide because he is no longer detained by ICE"); Hypolite v. Ripa, No. 22-cv-23597, 2022 WL 17477534, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Nov. 17, 2022) (dismissing habeas petition as moot where petitioner was released from ICE custody pending removal proceedings); Revan v. Mukasey, No. 08-20289, 2008 WL 3992291, at *2 (S.D. Fla. Aug. 27, 2008) ("Because [Petitioner] has now been released, the relief he requests, release from ICE custody, is no longer available and cannot be redressed by a favorable judicial decision."). Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: 1. Respondent's Motion (DE 13 ) is GRANTED;2. The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (DE 1 ) is DISMISSED AS MOOT;3. All pending motions not otherwise ruled upon are DISMISSED AS MOOT;4. The Clerk SHALL close this case. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams (nn) (Entered: 06/02/2026)
