Rahman, who has been detained in the Bradenton Detention Center since November 9, 2005, has been ordered removed to Bangladesh by the Board of Immigration. The Order of Removal is dated December 2, 2005. Rahman waived his appeal of the removal order. In the present petition, Rahman seeks either to be removed or to be released from confinement.
Under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001), the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE) may detain an alien for six months after the removal order becomes final.

Based on his a review of his exhibits, his removal is imminent.
Accordingly, the Court orders:
That Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied, without prejudice. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment against Rahman and to close this case.
ORDERED.
