ELECTRONIC ORDER. Before the Court is Petitioner's Motion for Expedited Consideration of Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Doc. 4 . Petitioner requests to expedite the Respondent's response because she is the primary caregiver for her young son and her removal proceedings are pending. Unfortunately, Petitioner has not met her burden to show good cause to expedite a ruling. As important to this determination, 28 U.S.C. § 2243 provides deadlines that are subordinate to the Court's discretionary authority to set deadlines under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts. See Castillo v. Pratt, 162 F. Supp. 2d 575, 57577 (N.D. Tex. 2001); Beaird v. Joslin, No. 3:05-cv-1833-K (BH), 2006 WL 2473338, at *3 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 11, 2006), rec. adopted, 2006 WL 2459378 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 22, 2006). And while the Court is not unsympathetic to Petitioner's circumstances, given the sheer volume of habeas litigation recently filed by alien detainees, the Court is not inclined to set a precedent for shortening the established deadline for response without a demonstration of good cause. Therefore, Petitioner's motion to expedite is DENIED. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Renee Harris Toliver on 9/18/2026) (chmb) (Entered: 09/18/2026)
