Minute Order by Judge Jinsook Ohta: On September 8, 2026, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging the legality of his immigration detention. Dkt. 1. The government filed a status report stating that Petitioner received a bond hearing on September 24, 2026, around three weeks into his detention, and the Immigration Judge granted his release on bond. Because Petitioner has received the bond hearing sought in his petition and has been granted release on bond, the Court dismisses the petition without prejudice as moot. The Clerk of Court is ordered to close the case. Signed by Judge Jinsook Ohta on 9/29/2026. (mk) (Entered: 09/29/2026)
