OPINION & ORDER

[Resolving Docs. 1, 15]

JAMES S. GWIN, District Judge.

In November 2017, Petitioner Alberto Garrido-Maurin petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241.1 He asked this Court to command Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to release him from custody because he cannot be deported.2 In February 2018, Garrido-Maurin was released from custody.3 Accordingly, the government moved to dismiss his petition as moot.4

The Court referred the petition to a Magistrate Judge, who recommended that the government's motion be granted.5 The Court has been unable to serve the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (R&R) on Petitioner Garrido-Maurin, because his mail has been returned to the Court.6 The Court will note, however, that the returned mailings it has received have been marked "Inmate Paroled or Released" and that it appears that the government served its motion to dismiss on Garrido-Maurin at what appears to be a non-prison address in May 2018.7

As the Court has received no change of address notification from Petitioner Garrido-Maurin or any response to the government's motion, the Court can see no reason to delay consideration of the R&R any further.

A habeas petitioner's release from custody generally moots his petition requesting only immediate release.8 Mootness doctrine is subject to some exceptions,9 but Petitioner Garrido-Maurin has not demonstrated they are applicable here.

As a result, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's R&R and DISMISSES AS MOOT Garrido-Maurin's § 2241 petition for habeas relief.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
