MINUTE ORDER The Court orders the Petitioner to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed for the same reason that his previous Petition in Case No. 26cv318 was dismissed. In that case he was not able to show that the Colorado state criminal conviction of the unauthorized use of a financial transaction device and therft that resulted in his mandatory detention had been reversed, only that it had been remanded to the state district court for a determination of whether petitioner had validly waived his right to counsel before denying his pro se motion for a new trial. This Court stated, "His convictions still stand unless and until the trial court grants his motion and orders a new trial or, if the motion is again denied, the Court of Appeals takes up petitioner's other assertions of error and reverses his judgment of conviction." So far as this Court can now determine, Mr. Mikaelyan has not submitted proof either that the trial court has ordered a new trial or, if denied, that the Court of Appeals has reversed his conviction on the merits. Without such proof, he appears to be in the same position vis-a-vis release from detention that he was in when this Court denied his previous Petition. Unless Petitioner provides that proof no later than 14 days from service of this Order, the Court will deny the pending Petition. by Judge R. Brooke Jackson on 9/2/26. For all non-e-filer pro se parties, a copy of this document has been sent via U.S. Mail to the mailing address of record. Text Only Entry (rbj) (Entered: 09/02/2026)
