ORDER OF DISMISSAL ROSENSTENGEL, Chief Judge: Petitioner Darrell D. Walker, an inmate in the Bureau of Prisons, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on May 9, 2019.

United States, 129 F.3d 1267 (7th Cir. 1997) (table). IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as moot. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case and enter judgment accordingly. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: October 31, 2019 Tag fone? NANCY J. ROSENSTENGEL | Chief U.S. District Judge
