Respondents represent that Petitioner was removed from the United States. Because Petitioner is no longer in custody, the Court cannot grant the relief requested, and the Petition is therefore moot. IT IS ORDERED that the Petition (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE AS MOOT. Signed by Judge Jason K. Pulliam. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
