MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 6/30/2026: (Text Only Entry): On April 3, 2026, the Court granted the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and ordered respondents to provide petitioner with a bond hearing. Doc. 21. On 4/15/2026, petitioner filed a 23 motion to enforce the judgment, stating that he had not been provided a bond hearing pursuant to the Court's 21 order granting his petition. On 4/17/26, respondents filed a status report confirming that petitioner was provided a bond hearing on 4/17/26. The 23 motion is therefore denied as moot, as respondents have provided petitioner with a bond hearing. See Doc. 24-1. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 06/30/2026)
