CASE NO. 02-CV-71797-DT
07-09-2015
FELIX ERNESTO SOSA, Petitioner, v. KURT JONES, Respondent.
OPINION AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter is before the Court to determine whether this previously stayed habeas case should be permanently closed. Upon stipulation of the parties, this case was held in abeyance pending the completion of Petitioner's parole and administratively closed in August, 2013. In that order, the parties indicated that Petitioner was scheduled to complete his parole in October, 2014. They also agreed that upon completion of Petitioner's parole, the case should be permanently closed. The parties have not updated the Court about the status of Petitioner's parole. Consequently, the Court has re-opened this case to determine whether Petitioner has completed his parole term and been discharged from state custody.
Having reviewed the matter, the Court finds that Petitioner completed his parole and was discharged from state custody on October 19, 2014. See Offender Profile, Michigan Department of Corrections Offender Tracking Information System ("OTIS"), http://mdocweb.state.mi.us/OTIS2/otis2profile.aspx?mdocNumber=185709. Thus, in keeping with the parties' stipulation, this case shall be permanently closed. There is no further relief to be granted. Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE this case and DIRECTS that it be permanently closed. The Court also DENIES a certificate of appealability.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
