May 21, 2026

TEXT ORDER. Petitioner has been released from the administrative custody of the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Immigration Enforcement (DHS). See Dkt. 29. Because the only relief that Petitioner sought was release from DHS custody, see Dkt. 1 ¶ 10, Petitioner's habeas petition became moot upon his release from the custody of the United States. Petitioner no longer is subject to the condition that caused his alleged deprivation, and as a result, this Court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction to further examine the merits of the petition. See Harvey v. Holder, 63 F. Supp. 3d 318, 320-21 (W.D.N.Y. 2014). The Clerk of Court shall close this case. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. John L. Sinatra, Jr., on 5/21/2026. (KEF)Clerk to follow up.
