ORDER OF DISMISSAL
The petitioner, Carlos Manuel Almeda Almeda, filed this petition to challenge his
ongoing immigration detention. Respondents advise the Court that Petitioner was removed
from the United States on May 15 , 2026. Doc. No. 9. 	Petitioner does not dispute that he
has been removed and that this case is now moot.
Because Petitioner is no longer in custody and there is no viable controversy, hi s
petition must be dismissed as moot. 	See Spencer v. Kemna, 118 S. Ct. 978, 983 (1998)
(holding that a case becomes moot if it "no longer present[ s] a case or controversy under
Article III, § 2 of the Constitution" because "[t]he parties must continue to have a 'personal
stake in the outcome' of the lawsuit "' ) (quoting Lewis v. Cont'! Bank Corp., 110 S. Ct.
1249, 1254 (1990)).
Therefore, the Court ORDERS as follows:
1. 	This habeas petition is DISMISSED without prejudice as MOOT.
2. 	All pending motions, if any, are DENIED as MOOT.
