    Decided March 19, 2002.
    Before CANBY, BEEZER, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.

   MEMORANDUM

Blessing Uwagboe, a native and citizen of Nigeria, appeals pro se the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging the Attorney General’s commencement of removal proceedings against him and the conditions of his detention by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Because Uwagboe was removed from the United States while this appeal was pending, this appeal is now moot and this court lacks jurisdiction, absent extreme circumstances in the removal. See Miranda v. Reno, 238 F.3d 1156, 1158 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 122 S.Ct. 541, 151 L.Ed.2d 419 (2001). There are no extreme circumstances here.

Uwagboe’s request for oral argument, dated July 23, 2001, and his requests to take judicial notice, dated August 5, 2001, and September 24, 2001, are denied.

DISMISSED.
