(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE GOVERNMENT'S STATUS REPORT (Dkt. 12 ) by Judge John A. Kronstadt: Based on a review of Respondent's Status Report (Dkt. 12 ), which was timely filed pursuant to the August 24, 2026 Order Accepting Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge (Dkt. 11 (Order), Respondent has shown its compliance with the Order. However, in light of the statements by Petitioners counsel during the hearings before the Immigration Judge on August 26 and 28, 2026, a substantive bond hearing has not been conducted because Petitioners counsel was not fully prepared to proceed. Dkt. [12-3]. To facilitate judicial and party efficiency in this action, on or before September 9, 2026 at Noon, after meeting and conferring, counsel for the parties shall file a joint statement as to their respective and/or collective position(s) on whether a renewed bond hearing should proceed, and if so, a suitable date for such a hearing that is convenient to counsel and that will provide sufficient time for Petitioner's counsel to be prepared for the hearing. If the parties agree to proceed with a renewed bond hearing, they may also file a corresponding stipulation and proposed order. Based on a review of the submission(s) by the parties, a determination will be made by the Court as to what further actions by one or both parties, if any, will be ordered in this proceeding.

(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE GOVERNMENT'S STATEMENT (DKT. 14 ) FOLLOWING ISSUANCE OF STATUS REPORT (DKT. 12 ) by Judge John A. Kronstadt: A review of the Government's Statement filed on September 8, 2026 (Dkt. 14 ), the Government's Status Report filed on September 4, 2026 (Dkt. 12 ) and the Petition filed by Felipe Hernandez Garcia (Dkt. 1 ), shows that, at the second hearing before the Immigration Judge, Petitioner's counsel, Ms. Wood, withdrew Petitioner's bond determination request without prejudice, and stated that she did so because she was not prepared to proceed with the hearing on the merits on August 28, 2026. That was the hearing date set by the Immigration Judge based on the deadline in the August 24, 2026 Order Accepting Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge, which enjoined Respondents from continuing to detain Petitioner unless, within seven days of the date of the Order, he was provided with an individualized bond hearing. This resulted in causing Petitioner's Emergency Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Stay of Removal (Dkt. 2 ) to become moot. However, it did not resolve all of the matters alleged in the Petition. Further, there has been no showing that the withdrawal of the bond determination request at the August 28, 2026 hearing before the Immigration Judge because Ms. Wood was not ready to proceed, precludes a subsequent request for a bond hearing for Petitioner when Ms. Wood is ready to proceed. For all of the foregoing reasons, at present, there is no showing that the Petition is moot. Because Ms. Wood has not entered an appearance on the docket of this proceeding, on or before September 16, 2026, the Government shall serve Ms. Wood with its Status Report filed on September 4, 2026, and its Statement filed on September 8, 2026. On or before that same deadline, the Government shall provide the contact information that it has for Ms. Wood to the Courtroom Deputy Clerk, so that the Deputy Clerk can provide a copy of this Order to her. If Ms. Wood will be representing Petitioner in this proceeding, she shall promptly file a corresponding notice of appearance.THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.
