MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

Petitioner Erick Estanislao was confined at the La Tuna Federal Correctional Institution in Anthony, Texas, when he filed this petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 seeking release from Bureau of Prisons custody.2 As Estanislao has already been released from BOP custody,3 there is no longer any Article III case or controversy because this Court can no longer provide him the relief he seeks.4 Accordingly, his petition is DISMISSED.5 SO ORDERED. SIGNED this 28th day of June 2025.
