ORDER OF DISMISSAL
The petitioner, Flor Ester Campos Medrano, filed this petition to challenge her
ongoing immigration detention. Respondents move to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 12(b)(l), contending that Petitioner has been removed from the United States.
Doc. No. 6. 	Petitioner does not oppose the motion and does not dispute that she has been
removed and that this case is now moot.
Because Petitioner is no longer in custody and there is no viable controversy, her
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)).
