(Text-Only) On 01/15/2026 the Court Ordered Respondents to release petitioner and file a notice on the docket confirming the release within 24 hours 8 . That update was never filed. However, the Court received an email shortly after Petititoner's release confirming that it occurred. Therefore, the Court will vacate as moot the requirement for the update. Unless a party objects and files something on the docket indicating that issues remain unresolved, this case will be closed on or before March 18th. Ordered by Judge Katherine M. Menendez on 3/13/2026.(CRD) (Entered: 03/13/2026)
