(Text-Only) ORDER in Response to E-mail. On June 12, 2026, counsel for Petitioner contacted the Court requesting to schedule a show-cause hearing relating to issues raised in Petitioner's 18 Letter, specifically that Respondents had not served an unredacted copy of the 15 sealed travel document on Petitioner. In light of the 19 Certificate of Service filed by Respondents the same day indicating that Respondents have mailed a copy of the travel document to counsel for Petitioner, the Court does not believe a show-cause hearing is necessary. Accordingly, Petitioner's request is DENIED. Ordered by Judge Laura M. Provinzino on 6/15/2026. (TJC) (Entered: 06/15/2026)
