ORDER denying 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. After reviewing the transcript from Petitioner's bond hearing held on April 14, 2026, the Court finds that the hearing was fundamentally fair. The requirements of a fundamentally fair hearing are that Petitioner: "(1) is entitled to factfinding based on a record produced before the decisionmaker and disclosed to him or her; (2) must be allowed to make arguments on his or her own behalf; and (3) has the right to an individualized determination of his [or her] interests." Ghanem v. Warden Essex Cnty. Corr. Facility, No. 21-1908, 2022 WL 574624, at *2 (3d Cir. Feb. 25, 2022) (quoting Kamara v. Att'y Gen. of U.S., 420 F.3d 202, 211 (3d Cir. 2005)). The Court finds that these requirements were met, and can otherwise discern no other flaws in the fairness of the hearing that rise to the level of a constitutional violation. Signed by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on 6/30/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (pak) (Entered: 06/30/2026)
