REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION re 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, 4 MOTION for Immediate Release, 12 MOTION for Expedited Delivery of Court Documents, 5 MOTION for Hearing. Petitioner's release from ICE custody and removal from the United States render his Petition moot, as there is no longer an actual case or controversy for the Court to decide. The undersigned therefore recommends that the Court DISMISS the Petition, Doc. 1, as moot. Adoption of this recommendation MOOTS Petitioner's pending (1) Motion for Immediate Release, Doc. 4; (2) Motion for Bond Hearing, Doc. 5; (3) Motion for Expedited Delivery of Court Documents, Doc. 12; and (4) Emergency Request for Expedited Consideration of the Pending Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, Doc. 18. This Report and Recommendation terminates the referral of this matter to the undersigned. Objections to R&R due by 9/29/2026. Signed by US Magistrate Judge Chris M Stephens on 9/15/2026.
