(In Chambers): Order Setting Briefing Schedule by Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero, 10 . From the Motion, it appears that, while Petitioner was granted a bond hearing, he was not released from custody as a result of that hearing. (Mot. 2.) The Court notes that the Motion was not noticed for hearing as required by Local Rule 6-1. Further, the Motion seeks relief largely duplicative of that sought in the Petition. The Court will therefore not require Respondents to file an opposition to the Motion at this time. [See Order for further details.] (san) (Entered: 04/21/2026)

SCHEDULING NOTICE TEXT ONLY ENTRY (In Chambers) by Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero. Either party may file objections to this Court's findings and recommendations under 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(l)(C). By Local Rule, the objections period in a case involving a person in custody is presumptively 20 days. See L.R. 72-3.4. However, the Court finds that a shortened objection period is warranted here given the nature of the relief at issue. See United States v. Barney, 568 F.2d 134, 136 (9th Cir. 1978) (per curiam) (holding that a district court has the discretion to shorten the objection period). Accordingly, the parties must submit any objections to this Report and Recommendation 14 on or before May 15, 2026; any responses to those objections must be filed no later than two days from service of the objections. Any party who does not intend to object shall so inform the Court immediately. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (mmc) TEXT ONLY ENTRY (Entered: 05/13/2026)
