MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 7/15/2026: The 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed as moot. "For a habeas petition to continue to present a live controversy after the petitioner's release or deportation... there must be some remaining 'collateral consequence' that may be redressed by success on the petition." Abdala v. INS, 488 F.3d 1061, 1064 (9th Cir. 2007) (internal citation omitted). The petition in this case challenges only petitioner's detention and removal to a third country. However, petitioner has now been removed to his home country, Mexico, and his removal to Mexico "cur[es] his complaints about" his detention and removal to a third country. Abdala, 488 F.3d at 1065. The petition no longer presents a live controversy and is therefore moot. See id. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case. (Deputy Clerk YV) (Entered: 07/15/2026)
