MINUTE ORDER by Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 7/14/2026. On May 8, 2026, petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, bringing a claim that she is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). Docket No. 1 at 9-10. On June 4, 2026, the Court denied petitioner's claim, finding that she is being detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231 because she has been ordered removed. Docket No. 9 at 3. The Court, however, noted that petitioner has been detained since June 8, 2025 and therefore might have a viable claim under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001). Id. at 3. Therefore, the Court denied her habeas petition without prejudice. Id. at 3-4. On June 24, 2026, the Court issued a minute order stating that it will close this case if petitioner does not file an amended habeas petition on or before July 7, 2026. Petitioner has not filed an amended habeas petition. Therefore, the Court will close this case. Text Only Entry (pabsec, ) (Entered: 07/14/2026)
