The petition says that his detention in Elmhurst was violent.  The case was assigned to Judge Gregory H. Woods, who asked for a US response in two weeks. On March 9 the US Attorney's Office wrote in that the petitioner had been removed that day to Ecuador. Judge Woods dismissed the petition as moot, adding that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and therefore IFP status is denied for purpose of an appeal." This case is or was Caicedo v.
