NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY AND ORDER. The Clerk is directed to change the caption of this case to reflect that the only proper petitioner is Mario Sergio Guerra Castineira, who is proceeding pro se. Clara Miriam Guerra Marrero will be removed as a party to the case. However, the case cannot proceed without any suggestion of interest from Guerra Castineira. As a result, if Petitioner Guerra Castineira wishes to pursue these habeas claims, he must file an amended petition within 30 days. The amended petition must be signed. If GuerraCastineira fails to timely file an amended petition, the Court will dismiss this action for want of prosecution without further notice. The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this order to Guerra Marrero. But Guerra Marrero will not receive any further notice of the proceedings here. The Clerk is also directed to mail Petitioner Guerra Castineira a copy of the original petition filed here, Dkt. No. 1, and a blank Section 2241 form marked, "amended" and stamped with this cause number. The Clerk is directed to change the caption to reflect that the Warden of the Eden Detention Center is the only proper respondent. All other named respondents will be terminated from this civil action. Clerk's Note: Mario Sergio Guerra Castineira added. Clara Miriam Guerra Marrero (Next Friend of Mario Sergio Guerra Castineira) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement terminated.
