IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

VICTOR ABREU, No. 4:25-CV-00146

Petitioner, (Chief Judge Brann)

v.

BETH A. RICKARD,

Respondent.

ORDER OCTOBER 14, 2025 AND NOW, upon consideration of Petitioner’s release from custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP),1 which is the relief sought in the instant Section 2241 petition,2 and the Court noting that a petition for habeas corpus relief generally becomes moot when “there is nothing for [the court] to remedy,”3 and when “developments occur during the course of adjudication that eliminate a [petitioner’s] personal stake in the outcome of a suit or prevent a court from being able to grant the requested relief,”4 and the Court thus finding that because Petitioner has been released from custody, the instant Section 2241 petition is moot

(1998) (“[M]ootness, however it may have come about, simply deprives us of our power to act; there is nothing for us to remedy, even if we were disposed to do so.”). and must be dismissed,5 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner’s Section 2241 petition is DISMISSED as moot and the Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this

case. BY THE COURT:
