ORDER. To protect the status quo and preserve this Court's jurisdiction, the Court GRANTS the Motion only insofar as respondents are hereby enjoined from removing petitioner from the United States or transferring him out of Colorado unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this order or the case is terminated. To the extent they have not done so yet, no later than Friday, April 10, 2026, counsel for petitioner is directed to: (1) serve respondents with a copy of the Petition along with a copy of this Order, by email and overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket.

MINUTE ORDER re: 8 Declaration filed by Mandeep Moun. Upon review, petitioner's request to deem his application for a writ of habeas corpus unopposed and immediately grant the motion is DENIED. The petitioner failed to effect proper service of the Application [ECF No. 1], Motion [ECF No. 2], and Order [ECF No. 6] on respondents. Although petitioner sent the aforementioned documents by overnight mail to respondents and their respective agencies, and he emailed the documents to the local US Attorney's Office, there is no documentation to support that petitioner sent the documents by overnight mail to the local US Attorney's Office in Denver, Colorado, as is necessary to effect proper service under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i)(2). Although they were not properly served, the local US Attorney's Office does, however, have notice of the petition because petitioner emailed them, and therefore, a shortened response period is appropriate. Therefore, the Court hereby ORDERS, that no later than today, Thursday, May 21, 2026, petitioner SHALL (1) serve respondents with a copy of the Application, Motion, a copy of the Court's Order [ECF No. 6], and this Order, by email and overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance, and, within 7 days of service, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the Petition should not be granted. The Courts prior Order enjoining respondents from transferring petitioner out of the District of Colorado or removing him from the United States during the pendency of this case remains in effect. by Judge R. Brooke Jackson on 5/21/26. Text Only Entry (rbjlc8, ) (Entered: 05/21/2026)
