(In Chambers) Order by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. If the government does not oppose the relief sought in the petition, it shall promptly notify the Court.

Bostock, No. 25-6842, 2026 WL 2196424 (9th Cir. 2026), and whether Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal, and shall attach relevant documents concerning Petitioner's detention. Failure to substantively address the arguments in the petition may be construed as consent to granting the requested relief. To facilitate prompt resolution of the petition, Petitioner should file any reply earlier if practicable. The parties may stipulate to proceed before the assigned magistrate judge for all purposes by August 24, 2026. Absent a timely stipulation, the Court vacates the reference of this action to the assigned magistrate judge, pursuant to General Order 05-07. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.
