NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY AND ORDER. The Clerk is directed to change the caption of this case to reflect that the only proper petitioner is Leandro Darien Dominguez-Zayas, who is proceeding pro se. Maida Zayas Torres will be removed as a party to the case. The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this order to Zayas Torres. But she will not receive any further notice of the proceedings here. However, the case cannot proceed without any suggestion of interest from Dominguez-Zayas. If Petitioner Dominguez-Zayas wishes to pursue these habeas claims, he must file an amended petition within 30 days. The Clerk is also directed to mail Petitioner Dominguez-Zayas a copy of the original petition filed here, Dkt. No. 3, the Court's notice and instruction to pro se parties, Dkt. No. 6, 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. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 5/5/2026) (kmr) (Entered: 05/05/2026)

ORDER. This case cannot proceed because Petitioner has not cured the filing deficiency or otherwise participated in this case. The Court, therefore, finds that Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus should be dismissed without prejudice for want of prosecution and for failure to comply with the Court's prior orders. The Court will enter judgment accordingly. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 7/28/2026) (ada) (Entered: 07/28/2026)
