AHMED HASSAN-AHMED, § § Petitioner, § § VS. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:25-CV-02985 § KRISTI NOEM, et ai., § § Respondents. § ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The petitioner, Ahmed Hassan-Ahmed, filed this petition to challenge his ongoing immigration custody. The parties advise the Court that the petitioner was removed from the United States on December 3, 2025. See Doc. No. 17. Because the petitioner is no longer in custody and no controversy remains, his petition must be dismissed as moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 118 S. Ct. 978, 983 (1998) (holding that a case becomes moot if it “no longer present[s] a case or controversy under Article III, § 2 of the Constitution” because “[t]he parties must continue to have a ‘personal stake in the outcome’ of the lawsuit’”) (quoting Lewis v. Cont’l Bank Corp., 110 S. Ct. 1249, 1254 (1990)).
