Order Denying Habeas Petition as Moot
After Removal
Petitioner Cyprine Yunga Mbah entered the United States in 2019 after fleeing
Cameroon. (Doc. 1 at PageID 2.) He filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (“Habeas
Petition”) challenging his detention by Immigration Customs Enforcement in the Butler County,
Ohio jail pending his removal to Cameroon pursuant to a 2020 immigration order. (Id. at PageID
1, 2.) Mbah did not challenge the removal order itself. (Doc. 1.) 	Responded filed a Notice of
Petitioner’s Removal to Cameroon on January 29, 2026 informing the Court that Mbah was
removed from the United States to Cameroon on January 18, 2026. (Doc. 18.) As set forth in
the Respondent’s Notice, Mbah’s removal renders moot his request for release from detention in
the Habeas Petition. See Enazeh v. Davis, 107 F. App’x 489, 491 (6th Cir. 2004); Laurent v.
Sessions, No. 4:18-cv-935, 2018 WL 6732872, at *2 (N.D. Ohio Sept. 11, 2018), report and
recommendation adopted, 2019 WL 118603 (N.D. Ohio Jan. 7, 2019).
Accordingly, Mbah’s Habeas Petition (Doc. 1) is DENIED AS MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
