Notice of Deficiency and Order. If Carreno wants to proceed with this action, 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 Clerk is directed to mail a courtesy copy of this order to Garcia at the address listed on her declaration. See Dkt. No. 1-6 at 59. But Garcia will not receive any further notice of the proceedings here. The Clerk is also directed to mail Carreno a copy of the original petition and supporting documents, Dkt. No. 1, the Court's standard instructions to a non-prisoner pro-se party, and a blank Section 2241 form marked amended and stamped with this case number. The Clerk is directed to change the caption to reflect that the Warden of the Bluebonnet Detention Center is the only proper respondent. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 43435 (2004) (explaining that there is generally only one proper respondent in a habeas case, and that is the person who holds the petitioner in custody). All other named respondents will be terminated from this civil action. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 5/28/2026) (skh) Modified on 5/28/2026 (skh). (Entered: 05/28/2026)

ORDER. The Court has reviewed the parties' pleadings, relevant records, and applicable law. For the reasons stated in Respondent's response, the Court concludes that Carreno fails to demonstrate that his detention is unlawful and, in turn, fails to demonstrate that he is entitled to the relief that he seeks in his petition. Carreno's amended petition is therefore denied and dismissed with prejudice. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 7/30/2026) (mms) (Entered: 07/30/2026)
