ALSI REINA COLORADO, Petitioner v. WARDEN, FCI FORT DIX, Respondent
MEMORANDUM OPINION
RENEE MARIE BUMB, Chief United States District Judge.
IT APPEARING THAT:
1. On or about September 25, 2023, Petitioner Alsi Reina Colorado, a prisoner confined in the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey (“FCI Fort Dix”), filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, alleging he was unlawfully denied application of Time Credits under the First Step Act. (Pet., Docket No. 1.)
2. On January 4, 2024, Respondent submitted a letter to the Court, requesting dismissal of the petition as moot because the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) has found Petitioner eligible and applied 365 days of time credits under the First Step Act toward Petitioner's early transfer to supervised release, and updated his projected release date. (Letter, Dkt. No. 6; Declaration of Christina Clark, Exhibits 1-5, Dkt. No. 6-1.)
3. Petitioner has received all relief requested in his habeas petition, application of FSA time credits toward his early release. (Pet., Dkt. No. 1 ¶ 15.)
4. “If developments occur during the course of adjudication that eliminate a plaintiff's personal stake in the outcome of a suit or prevent a court from being able to grant the requested relief, the case must be dismissed as moot.” Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir. 1996).
5. The petition is moot, and the Court will dismiss this matter.
