MADELINE COX ARLEO, District Judge.
This matter having been opened by Petitioner Kastriot Bacuku's Petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging his detention pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Civ. Act. No. 16-1388, ECF Nos. 1-2.) It appearing that:
1. On April 9, 2015, Petitioner, proceeding through counsel, filed a Petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, challenging his prolonged detention pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (See Civ. Act. No. 15-2543, ECF No. 1 (hereafter referred to "Bacuku I").) On May 6, 2015, this Court ordered the Respondent to file its response. (Bacuku I, ECF No. 2.) Respondent filed its response on July 20, 2015, and Petitioner's counsel filed a reply on his behalf on August 18, 2015. (Id., ECF Nos. 9, 11.) The Court subsequently ordered supplemental briefing, which was completed on November 4, 2015. (Id., ECF Nos. 15-17.) On March 2, 2016, the Court issued an Opinion and Order, granting the writ of habeas corpus and ordering a bond hearing for Petitioner to be held by an Immigration Judge within 10 days of the Court's Order. (Id., ECF Nos. 20-21.) On March 9, 2016, Assistant United States Attorney Frances C. Bajada informed the Court that an Immigration Judge had conducted an individualized bond hearing for Petitioner on March 8, 2016 and determined that he may be released from custody upon the posting of a $7500.00 bond. (Id., ECF No. 22, Letter from AUSA Bajada.) The letter also informed the Court that Petitioner "posted bond and was released." (Id.)
2. While Bacuku I was pending, Petitioner, proceeding pro se, filed the instant Petition, along with an application for in forma pauperis ("IFP") status, in the Southern District of New York, challenging his prolonged detention under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (See civ. Act. No. 16-1388 (hereafter referred to as Bacuku II).) Bacuku II was docketed in the Southern District of New York on January 12, 2016. (See id., ECF Nos. 1-3.) The District Court for the Southern District of New York granted Petitioner's IFP application, ordered Respondents to file a response (1) addressing the Court's jurisdiction and (2) whether the matter should be transferred to this District, where Bacuku I was then pending. (Id. at ECF Nos. 4, 6.) After receiving the Government's response on February 18, 2016, the District Court for the Southern District of New York transferred Bacuku II to the District of New Jersey on March 1, 2016, and it was assigned to the undersigned. (Id. at ECF Nos. 8, 10.)
3. As noted above, this Court granted Petitioner a bond hearing in Bacuku I on March 2, 2016, and Petitioner was released on bond on March 8, 2016. (Bacuku I, ECF Nos. 20-22.)
4. This Court has reviewed Bacuku II and finds that the Petition should be dismissed as the Petitioner is no longer in custody, having already received a bond hearing and having been released on bond (see Bacuku I, ECF No. 22), which is the only relief he is entitled to in this habeas action.
