Ortez v. F C I Oakdale II

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA LAKE CHARLES DIVISION

DENIS IVAN ORTEZ #27240-081 CASE NO. 2:23-CV-00715 SEC P VERSUS JUDGE JAMES D. CAIN, JR. WARDEN F C I OAKDALE II MAGISTRATE JUDGE LEBLANC

JUDGMENT OF DISMISSAL Before the court is a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 by Dennis Ortez, who sought an adjustment of his good conduct time.! The Bureau of Prison’s Inmate Locator shows that petitioner was released from BOP custody on May 8, 2024. Accordingly, there is no further relief the court can grant him and his petition is now moot. E.g., Bailey v. Sutherland, 821 F.2d 277, 278 (Sth Cir. 1987) (dismissing a § 2241 petition as moot following petitioner’s release where “the thrust of [the] petition is to be released from his confinement”); Aldaco v. Nash, 693 F. App’x 336, 337 (Sth Cir. 2017) (per curiam) (unpublished) (§ 2241 petition mooted by petitioner’s release from BOP custody). It 1s therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that this petition be DISMISSED AS MOOT. THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Chambers on the 9th day of May, 2025.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE | As noted in the warden’s response, the petitioner was not eligible for such credit under the First Step Act because he was serving a sentence for re-entry of a removed alien, a disqualifying offense. 18 U.S.C. § 3632(d)(4)(D).
