NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY AND ORDER. If Mendoza wishes to pursue these habeas claims, he must file an amended petition on the proper form within 30 days. The amended petition must be signed by him or a licensed attorney. The Court cautions Mendoza that an amended petition will supersede and replace the original petition, so he must include all applicable grounds for relief in the amended petition. If Mendoza fails to timely file an amended petition, the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice for want of prosecution, without further notice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 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. The Clerk is directed to change the caption of this case to reflect that the only proper petitioner is Johan Stiven Gonzalez Mendoza, who is proceeding pro se. Darli Forero will be removed as a party to the case. The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this order to Forero. But she will not receive any further notice of the proceedings here. The Clerk is also directed to mail Mendoza a copy of the original petition and supporting documents, Dkt. No. 1, the Court's notice and instructions to pro-se parties, Dkt. No. 3, and a blank Section 2241 petition form marked "amended" and stamped with this cause number. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 5/1/2026) (kmr) (Entered: 05/01/2026)
