PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Petitioner's Emergency Motion to Preserve the Status Quo and for Stay Pending Appeal, ECF No. 20 (the "Motion"). Petitioner seeks an administrative stay pending his appeal to the Eleventh Circuit. Id. at 3. As Petitioner acknowledges, the Court evaluates requests for stays, including administrative stays, under the traditional stay factors outlined in Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418 (2009). Those factors are "'(1) whether the stay applicant has made a strong showing that he is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) whether the applicant will be irreparably injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will substantially injure the other parties interested in the proceeding; and (4) where the public interest lies.'" Id. at 426 (citation omitted). "The first two factors of the traditional standard are the most critical," the Supreme Court has explained. Id. at 434. Irreparable harm is generally "the most important," but "the movant may also have his motion granted upon a lesser showing of a 'substantial case on the merits' when "the balance of the equities [identified in factors 2, 3, and 4] weighs heavily in favor of granting the stay.'" Garcia-Mir v. Meese, 781 F.2d 1450, 1453 (11th Cir. 1986) (alteration in original) (citation omitted). Petitioner has not made that showing here. His appeal does not raise a substantial question about the scope of Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001). Here, the Government showed it had requested and received travel documents from Brazil and had transferred Petitioner to a facility in Louisiana "in preparation for removal." ECF No. 9 at 4. A stay applicant always bears the burden of showing the Nken factors warrant a stay, and Petitioner's arguments about the likelihood of removal do not raise even a substantial possibility of success on the merits. As for irreparable harm, the Supreme Court held in Nken that "the burden of removal alone cannot constitute the requisite irreparable injury." 556 U.S. at 435. Petitioner points to other factors, but none is sufficient to overcome the unlikelihood of success on the merits. Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion is DENIED. Having properly moved first in the district court for a stay pending appeal, Petitioner is free to petition the Eleventh Circuit for the same relief that the Court has now denied. See Fed. R. App. P. 8(a)(1). The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Petitioner. Signed by Judge Jacqueline Becerra (esr) (Entered: 10/14/2026)
