Oct 26, 2026
TEXT ORDER: The Court, having reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, Respondents' submissions, and the record, finds that dismissal without prejudice is appropriate at this time. Respondents represent that Petitioner is subject to a final administrative order of removal issued on August 4, 2026, and that his detention is authorized under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(2) during the 90-day removal period. (ECF No. 5 .) The presumptive six-month period discussed in Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001), has not elapsed. Although Respondents reported that Petitioner wished to withdraw the Petition to facilitate his removal (ECF No. 9 ), Petitioner did not respond to the Court's September 29, 2026 Order directing him to confirm whether he wished to do so (ECF No. 10 ). Accordingly, the present record does not establish a basis for habeas relief under Zadvydas at this time. IT IS, therefore, on this 26th day of October, 2026, ORDERED that the Petition is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. This dismissal is without prejudice to Petitioner seeking to reopen this matter or filing a new petition for a writ of habeas corpus if his detention continues beyond the presumptive six-month period and he can make the showing required under Zadvydas, or otherwise establish that his continued detention is unlawful. The Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this matter. So Ordered by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on October 26, 2026(kas, ) (Entered: 10/26/2026)
