MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 5/12/2026: On 3/16/2026, petitioner initiated this action to challenge his detention and seek release. See ECF No. 1 at 6-7. Respondent has provided evidence that, on 4/11/2026, petitioner voluntarily departed the United States. See ECF No. 10 -1. In light of this development, petitioner is hereby ordered to file a reply, within seven days of service of this order, that addresses whether his petition is moot. The court will construe petitioner's failure to file a timely reply as his acquiescence to the petition being moot by way of his voluntary departure. (Text Only Entry).

FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS (Text only) signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 5/27/2026: On 3/16/2026, petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. (ECF No. 1 .) On 4/7/2026, respondent filed an answer stating that petitioner was granted voluntary departure by an immigration judge. (ECF No. 6 at 2.) On May 11, 2026, respondent filed a status report indicating that petitioner voluntarily departed from the United States on April 11, 2026. (ECF No. 10 .) ICE's Online Detainee Locator System has no record for a detainee with petitioner's A-Number and country of birth, and mail to petitioner at his detention center has been returned as undeliverable. On 5/12/2026, the court ordered petitioner to file, no later than 5/19/2026, a reply addressing whether his petition is moot. (ECF No. 11 .) To date, petitioner has not complied with that order, which the court construes as his "acquiescence to the petition being moot by way of his voluntary departure." (Id.) Moreover, "[a] party, not the district court, bears the burden of keeping the court apprised of any changes in his mailing address." Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1441 (9th Cir. 1988); see also Local Rule 183. By failing to comply with a court order and not updating his address, petitioner has failed to prosecute this action. "The authority of a court to dismiss sua sponte for lack of prosecution has generally been considered an 'inherent power,' governed not by rule or statute but by the control necessarily vested in courts to manage their own affairs so as to achieve the orderly and expeditious disposition of cases." Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-631 (1962). "Accordingly, when circumstances make such action appropriate, a District Court may dismiss a complaint for failure to prosecute even without affording notice of its intention to do so or providing an adversary hearing before acting." Id. at 633. Accordingly, it is hereby RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days of service of these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Any such document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations," and any response shall be served and filed within seven days of service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. See Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991). (Deputy Clerk NAC) (Entered: 05/27/2026)
