REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
MARY ALICE THEILER, Magistrate Judge.
Petitioner initiated this action through counsel to obtain release from immigration detention. On July 8, 2019, the Government moved to dismiss. (Dkt. 8.) On September 3, 2019, petitioner was removed from the United States pursuant to an administratively final order of removal. (Dkt. 14.) On September 23, 2019, the Government informed the Court of petitioner's removal. (Dkt. 13.)
Under Article III of the U.S. Constitution, federal courts may adjudicate only actual, ongoing cases or controversies. Deakins v. Monaghan, 484 U.S. 193, 199 (1988). "For a habeas petition to continue to present a live controversy after the petitioner's release or deportation . . . there must be some remaining `collateral consequence' that may be redressed by success on the petition." Abdala v. I.N.S., 488 F.3d 1061, 1064 (9th Cir. 2007). Because petitioner's habeas petition challenges only the length of his detention, his claims were fully resolved by his removal. See id. at 1065. Accordingly, there is no collateral consequence that could be redressed by the Court, and petitioner's habeas petition must be dismissed as moot. See id.
The Court recommends that petitioner's habeas petition and this action be DISMISSED as moot, and that the Government's motion to dismiss (Dkt. 8) be DENIED as moot. A proposed order accompanies this Report and Recommendation.
Objections to this Report and Recommendation, if any, should be filed with the Clerk and served upon all parties to this suit within fourteen (14) days of the date on which this Report and Recommendation is signed. Failure to file objections within the specified time may affect your right to appeal. Objections should be noted for consideration on the District Judge's motions calendar for the third Friday after they are filed. Responses to objections may be filed within fourteen (14) days after service of objections. If no timely objections are filed, the matter will be ready for consideration by the District Judge on October 11, 2019.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation of the Honorable Mary Alice Theiler, United States Magistrate Judge, any objections or responses to that, and the remaining record, the Court finds and ORDERS:
(1) The Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation;
(2) Petitioner's habeas petition and this action are DISMISSED as moot;
(3) The Government's motion to dismiss (Dkt. 8) is DENIED as moot; and
(4) The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to the parties and to Judge Theiler.
