TEXT ORDER: Yesterday the Court issued an order requiring the Petitioner to submit a response to the Respondents' filing at ECF 11 on or before June 2 at 5:00pm. See ECF 12. The deadline should have been July 2, not June 2. So as to avoid as prejudice from this typographical error, the Petitioner's deadline shall be extended to July 6 at 5:00pm. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 7/1/2026. (wh) (Entered: 07/01/2026)

Letter from Petitioner Responding ECF 11. (CANDIA, WILLIAM) (Entered: 07/02/2026)

Jul 14, 2026

TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' letters at ECF 7, ECF 8, ECF 10, ECF 11, and ECF 12 . They suggest a complex situation. "The core of due process is the right to notice and a meaningful opportunity to be heard." LaChance v. Erickson, 522 U.S. 262, 266 (1998). And it does not appear certain that the Petitioner was given adequate notice and opportunity to prepare for the hearing, a point he focuses on at length. At the same time, though, the Petitioner has pressed no due process argument. The parties shall meet and confer tomorrow or on July 16 to see if they can come to a practical agreement here, to arrange for a second immigration-court bond hearing before which the Petitioner will have adequate time to submit relevant materials. The parties shall file a status update on or before July 17 at noon. If the parties do not come to an agreement, the Court will then proceed to resolve the dispute itself. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 7/14/2026. (ro, ) (Entered: 07/14/2026)
