ORDER
JOUN, J.
In her petition for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, federal prisoner Maria de los
Angeles Godoy Cazorla challenges the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ calculation of the custodial
sentence included in the judgment against her in United States v. Godoy Cazorla, Crim. No. 22-
10188-WGY (D. Mass.). She maintains that the BOP failed to apply (1) time served in a
“concurrent” sentence imposed in United States District Court for the Northern District of
Florida; and (2) time credits earned under the First Step Act.
Ms. Godoy Cazorla should have filed this petition in the federal judicial district of her
confinement at the time--the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida. See
Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 443 (2004) (stating that, in general, “for core habeas petitions
challenging present physical confinement, jurisdiction lies in only one district: the district of
confinement”). However, because it appears Ms. Godoy Cazorla’s petition is moot, the Court
will dismiss this action rather than transfer it.

The docket of the criminal action in this Court indicates that, on December 9, 2025,
Judge Young granted the government’s motion to alter the judgment to reflect the Court’s intent
concerning the running of the two sentences consecutively or concurrently, thus mooting Ms.
Godoy Cazorla’s argument on that point. See United States v. Godoy Cazorla, Crim. No. 22-
10188-WGY (D. Mass.) (ECF No. 220).1
The Court takes judicial notice that, according to the “Inmate Locater” page of the
website of the BOP, https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/, Ms. Godoy Cazorla (Register Number
14051-510) has not been in custody of the BOP since December 12, 2025. Thus, the claim
concerning application of time credits earned under the First Step Act appears to be mooted.
Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice.
So Ordered.
