Disposition notice

Petitioner Lucio Munos Velasquez, an immigration detainee proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On October 29, 2026, he filed a notice of voluntary dismissal (ECF No. 4). Because the respondent had not yet served an answer or a motion for summary judgment, the dismissal was effective upon filing without a court order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i). The court, for clarity, directed the Clerk of Court to close the case. The order was signed by United States Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone on November 3, 2026.
