TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon receipt of Petitioner's letter at ECF No. 6 . In an August 28, 2026 letter (August 28 Letter), Respondents stated that Petitioner is subject to a final reinstated order of removal and thus is detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(5). (ECF No. 4 at 1.) The Court ordered Petitioner to respond to the August 28 Letter. (ECF No. 5 .) The Court has now received Petitioner's response. (ECF No. 6 .) Petitioner "acknowledge[s] Petitioner's ineligibility for relief, given the information and documentation provided by Respondents." (ECF No. 6 .) Accordingly, there are no remaining issues for the Court's adjudication. The Court LIFTS its Order (ECF No. 2 ) prohibiting Petitioner's transfer from the District of New Jersey. The Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this matter. So Ordered by Judge Georgette Castner on 9/3/2026. (jmh) (Entered: 09/03/2026)
