ORDER OF DISMISSAL
The petitioner, Ahmed Hassan-Ahmed, filed this petition to challenge his
ongoing immigration custody. 	The parties advise the Court that the petitioner was
removed from the United States on December 3, 2025. 	See Doc. No. 17. 	Because
the petitioner is no longer in custody and no controversy remains, his 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 'l Bank
Corp., 110 S. Ct. 1249, 1254 (1990)).
