Minute Order by Judge Jinsook Ohta: On September 9, 2026, Webster Chauvel Garcon filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging the legality of his immigration detention. Dkt. 1. On September 14, 2026, Petitioner was released from custody. Dkt. 6. The Petitioner is no longer detained and does not allege that the conditions of his release differ from those of his previous grant of liberty. Therefore, the Court DISMISSES the petition as moot and VACATES the October 1, 2026 hearing [Dkt. 1]. The Petitioner may file an amended petition by October 6, 2026 if he is challenging that his current release conditions are different from previous ones or otherwise unconstitutional. Signed by Judge Jinsook Ohta on 9/29/2026. (mxc) (Entered: 09/29/2026)
