Aug 20, 2026

Order [non-document]: On July 1, 2026, Plaintiff Sikitu Ruviri filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner named only Maryellen O'Shaughnessy, Clerk of Court for the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, as a respondent. Petitioner appears to attack his continued detention in immigration custody, as well as identified state criminal convictions. To the extent Petitioner is challenging his immigration detention, he has not named a proper respondent. To the extent Petitioner is challenging his state criminal convictions, he also has not identified a proper respondent. Petitioner may file an amended petition on or before September 14, 2026, identifying the appropriate respondent for his claims. Failure to amend will result in dismissal without prejudice for failure to prosecute. IT IS SO ORDERED. Judge Bridget Meehan Brennan on 8/20/26. (T,A)

Judgment AND Order Dismissing Case

Sep 25, 2026

Copy of 9/25/26 Order of Dismissal mailed to Sikitu Ruviri 078-767-324 Northeast Ohio Correctional Center 2240 Hibbard Road Youngstown, OH 45505 on 9/25/26. (T,A)

Sep 25, 2026

Order of Dismissal [non-document]: On 8/20/2026, the Court notified pro se Petitioner that he had not identified a proper respondent for his petition. Petitioner was given until 9/14/2026 to file a response, Petitioner did so on 8/31/2026. And while names are listed in the response to the Court's 8/20/2026 Order, it still fails to identify a proper respondent. For this reason, the petition is dismissed without prejudice. Moreover, a motion to vacate a state court conviction must be brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, provided certain conditions are met, and must identify a proper respondent. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in District Courts. The motion does not identify a respondent, and the filings submitted thus far cannot be construed to name a proper respondent. The motion to vacate (Doc. 2 ) is also denied without prejudice. IT IS SO ORDERED. Judge Bridget Meehan Brennan on 9/25/26. (T,A)
