OPINION AND ORDER1

SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.

This matter comes before the Court on Respondents' Motion to Dismiss for Mootness (Doc. #17) filed on October 16, 2017. On July 6, 2017, Petitioner Rajesh Randy Gaines filed his Petition for writ of habeas corpus requesting relief of his detention by the United States Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Gaines legally immigrated to the United States from Trinidad on September 26, 1990. Gaines was taken into custody by ICE on May 4, 2016. On January 11, 2017, an Immigration Judge, ordered Gaines deported because he had been convicted of a crime which constituted a removable offense. Gaines had been in custody for over thirteen months when he filed his Petition. On August 8, 2017, Gaines was released by agreement of the Parties on $1,500.00 bond and has remained out of custody since that date. (Doc. #17-1). Respondents argue the current Petition is moot and should be dismissed because Gaines is no longer in custody.

Article III of the Constitution, known as the case and controversies limitation, prevents federal courts from deciding moot questions because the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. U.S.C.A. Const. Art. III. Mootness can occur due to a change in circumstances or a change in law. Coral Springs St. Sys., Inc. v. City of Sunrise, 371 F.3d 1320 (11th Cir. 2004). A case is also moot when the issue presented is no longer live, the parties lack a legally cognizable interest in its outcome, or a decision could no longer provide meaningful relief to a party. Troiano v. Supervisor of Elections in Palm Beach County, Fla., 382 F.3d. 1276 (11th Cir. 2004); Christian Coalition of Ala. v. Cole, 355 F.3d 1288 (11th Cir. 2004); Crown Media LLC v. Gwinnett County, Ga, 380 F.3d. 1317 (11th Cir. 2004). Dismissal is not discretionary but "is required because mootness is jurisdictional. Any decision on the merits would be an impermissible advisory opinion." Troiano, 382 F.3d at 1282 (citing Al Najjar v. Ashcroft, 273 F.3d 1330, 1335-36 (11th Cir. 2001)). Although there is an exception to the mootness doctrine for those cases that are "capable of repetition yet evading review," "this exception is narrow, and applies only in exceptional circumstances." Soliman v. U.S. ex rel. INS, 296 F.3d 1237, 1242 (11th Cir. 2002) (citing Al Najjar, 273 F.3d at 1336). Two conditions must be met to invoke the exceptions: (1) the challenged action must be of a short duration to be fully litigated; and (2) there exists a reasonable expectation that the same complaining party would be subjected to the same action again. Christian Coalition of Ala., 355 F.3d at 1293 (emphasis added). In other words, "[t]he remote possibility that an event might recur is not enough to overcome mootness, and even a likely reoccurrence is insufficient if there would be ample opportunity for review at that time." Al Najjar, 273 F.3d at 1336. In this instance, it is undisputed that Gaines is no long in ICE custody, but is out on bond. (Doc. #17-1) (Respondents' attached a copy of the Immigration Judge's release order).

Given that Gaines's Petition is seeking relief from ICE detention, his Petition is now moot. See Hernandez v. Wainwright, 796 F.2d 389, 390 (11th Cir. 1986) (holding that when a habeas challenges the length of confinement rather than the underlying conviction and the petitioner is released, then the petition should be dismissed as moot). Any claim that Gaines's conditional release will be revoked in the future would be purely speculative. See L'Hommeus v. Mukasey, No. 207CV618FTM29DNF, 2008 WL 11334896, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Oct. 13, 2008) (finding that any claim by petitioner released from ICE custody on supervised release that his conditional release could be revoked would be speculative). There is no case or controversy for judicial review. The Petition is moot and the Respondents' Motion to Dismiss is due to be granted.

The Court also notes that Gaines's mail has been returned as undeliverable because he is no longer housed at the Glades County Detention Center, Moorehaven, Florida. Plaintiff's failure to inform the Court of his new address is also grounds for his Petition to be dismissed. (Doc. #13, ¶6).

Accordingly, it is now
