STANDING ORDER IN RE CASES FILED BY PRO SE PLAINTIFFS (See 24-MISC-127 Standing Order filed March 18, 2024). To ensure that all cases heard in the Southern District of New York are handled promptly and efficiently, all parties must keep the court apprised of any new contact information. It is a party's obligation to provide an address for service; service of court orders cannot be accomplished if a party does not update the court when a change of address occurs. Accordingly, all self-represented litigants are hereby ORDERED to inform the court of each change in their address or electronic contact information. Parties may consent to electronic service to receive notifications of court filings by email, rather than relying on regular mail delivery. Parties may also ask the court for permission to file documents electronically. Forms, including instructions for consenting to electronic service and requesting permission to file documents electronically, may be found by clicking on the hyperlinks in this order, or by accessing the forms on the courts website, nysd.uscourts.gov/forms. The procedures that follow apply only to cases filed by pro se plaintiffs. If the court receives notice from the United States Postal Service that an order has been returned to the court, or otherwise receives information that the address of record for a self-represented plaintiff is no longer valid, the court may issue an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with this order. Such order will be sent to the plaintiffs last known address and will also be viewable on the court's electronic docket. A notice directing the parties' attention to this order shall be docketed (and mailed to any self-represented party that has appeared and has not consented to electronic service) upon the opening of each case or miscellaneous matter that is classified as pro se in the court's records. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 3/18/2024) (kgo) (Entered: 07/14/2026)

ORDER: It is hereby ordered that: 1. Respondents shall file an opposition by July 17, 2026 as to why the petition for a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted.

Petitioner shall have the opportunity to reply by July 20, 2026. 3. This matter shall be heard by the Court on July 21, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, Courtroom 1506, 40 Foley Square, New York, NY 10007. Respondents shall produce Petitioner at this hearing. 4. To preserve the Courts jurisdiction pending a ruling on the Petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States absent further order of this Court. See, e.g., Khalil v.

Conn. Apr. 24, 2025) ([A] federal court may temporarily enjoin immigration authorities from deporting individuals if it preserves the courts jurisdiction over a case or cases.). Moreover, in light of Petitioners interest in participating in further proceedings before this Court and to facilitate resolution of the Petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner except to a facility within this District, the Eastern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. See, e.g., Perez y Perez v. Noem, No. 25-CV-4828 (DEH), 2025 WL 1908284, at *23 (S.D.N.Y. June 13, 2025) (enjoining a habeas petitioner's transfer pending adjudication of his petition); see also, e.g., Arostegui-Maldonado v.

Sept. 18, 2025) (same). 5. The Clerk of Court shall electronically notify the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York that this Order has issued at the following email address: jeffrey.oestericher@usdoj.gov.
