Notice of Voluntary Dismissal - aty

#26

Jun 03, 2026

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Petitioner Paul Andres Carreno Colina's ("Petitioner") Notice of Voluntary Dismissal. 25 . Therein, Petitioner seeks to voluntarily dismiss this matter and "requests that any injunctive relief be remove[d] or lifted to allow him to proceed with his voluntary departure from the United States." See id. at 1. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1) allows a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss a claim (1) prior to a defendant's filing of an answer or a motion for summary judgment, or (2) by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1). If dismissal is not proper under Rule 41(a)(1), "an action may be dismissed at the plaintiff's request only by court order, on terms that the court considers proper." Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2). Here, Respondents have filed a Response (ECF No. 10) to the Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 3) and thus Petitioner cannot voluntarily dismiss his Petition (ECF No. 13) without Court order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)-(2). For the reasons described in the Notice, the Court finds that dismissal is proper in this instance to permit Petitioner to voluntarily depart from the United States. See (ECF No. 25) at 1. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Notice, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that this case is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to Petitioner Paul Andres Carreno Colina. The Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 3) is hereby VACATED as to Petitioner Paul Andres Carreno Colina only. All provisions of the Order to Show Cause remain in force as to all other Petitioners in this action. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 6/3/2026. (ss01) (Entered: 06/03/2026)

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Petitioner Alexander Perez Vasquez's Unopposed Motion to Dismiss. 27 . Therein, Petitioner Perez Vasquez indicates that "[d]uring the pendency of these proceedings, [he] was provided with a bond hearing and was subsequently released," thus rendering his Petition moot. Id. at 1. Respondents do not oppose the relief requested. Id. at 2. "Article III of the Constitution limits the jurisdiction of federal courts to 'cases' and 'controversies,' and the justiciability doctrine's main components include mootness." Djadju v. Vega, 32 F.4th 1102, 1106 (11th Cir. 2022) (cleaned up and citation omitted). "The doctrine of mootness derives directly from the case or controversy limitation because 'an action that is moot cannot be characterized as an active case or controversy.'" Soliman v. United States ex rel. INS, 296 F.3d 1237, 1242 (11th Cir. 2002) (citation omitted). A case is moot "when it no longer presents a live controversy with respect to which the court can give meaningful relief." Id. (citation omitted). "If events that occur subsequent to the filing of a lawsuit or an appeal deprive the court of the ability to give the plaintiff or appellant meaningful relief, then the case is moot and must be dismissed." Al Najjar v. Ashcroft, 273 F.3d 1330, 1336 (11th Cir. 2001). Here, as Petitioner Perez Vasquez sought a bond hearing and has now received one, the Court can no longer afford him any relief that has not already been provided. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion 27 is GRANTED. This case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to Petitioner Perez Vasquez. All pending motions as to Petitioner Perez Vasquez, if any, are DENIED AS MOOT. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 6/10/2026.

July 16, 2026) (ECF No. 63), Respondents are ORDERED to provide Petitioner Carlos Enrique Machado Quesada an individualized bond hearing consistent with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) on or before July 30, 2026 or otherwise release Petitioner. The Immigration Judge shall conduct a de novo bond hearing considering whether Petitioner can establish that he is not a danger to the community or flight risk under the prevailing legal standard.
