, asserting that he had been detained in immigration custody in excess of six months, and wishes to be released. [ECF No. 1]. On March 3, 2020, Respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss arguing the Petitioner’s claim is moot because the Petitioner was released

from immigration custody under an order of supervision on February 21, 2020. [ECF No. 10]. Notably, the Petitioner failed to respond to the Respondent’s motion to dismiss as moot.
