The Immigration Judge (IJ) determined that the Department of Homeland Se- curity had shown by clear and convincing evidence that Serrano-Vargas poses a danger to the community and is a significant flight risk. The IJ found that Serrano-Vargas was properly detained and, therefore, declined to set bond. In October 2018, Serrano-Vargas filed a “Motion to Enforce Prior Order” in the District Court, arguing that the IJ had not conducted a legally sufficient individualized bond hearing in violation of Serrano-Vargas’s due process rights. On June 14, 2019, Serrano-Vargas filed a petition for a writ of mandamus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651 with this Court, alleging extraordinary delay in the adjudication of his motion to enforce. Subsequently, in a memorandum and order entered July 10, 2019, the District Court denied the motion to enforce, finding that Serrano-Vargas’s due process rights had not been violated. Accordingly, because he has obtained the relief he requested, the mandamus petition will be dismissed as moot. See Blanciak v.
