Petitioner’s request for relief, as articulated in his petition for habeas corpus, is for an order directing his release from his alleged unlawful detention. Since Petitioner is no longer in

custody, there is no actual injury which is likely to be redressed by a favorable decision. Thus, his petition is rendered moot. Chocho v. Shanahan, 308 F. Supp. 3d at 774 (internal citations omitted). Accordingly, the petition is DISMISSED.
