PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court on Respondents' Unopposed Expedited Motion to Return Petitioner to Krome North Service Processing Center (DE 7 ) ("Motion"). In the Motion, Respondents state that they transferred Petitioner from the jurisdiction on September 17, 2026, the same day as he filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (DE 1 ) ("Petition"), and before the Court entered its Order to Show Cause (DE 4). (DE 7 ). The Court's Order to Show Cause states, "Respondents SHALL NOT transfer or otherwise move Petitioner from the Southern District of Florida until further order of the Court." (DE 4) (emphasis in original). The Order to Show Cause does not prohibit transferring Petitioner back into the Southern District of Florida, as the purpose of this provision is to ensure Petitioner remains in the jurisdiction while his Petition is adjudicated. Further, the Local Rules state that an expedited motion "must set forth in detail the date by which an expedited ruling is needed and the reason the ruling is needed by the stated date." S.D. Fla. L.R 7.1(d)(2). The Motion does not comply with these requirements. Nonetheless, upon review of the Motion and the record, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion is GRANTED. Respondents shall transfer Petitioner back to the Southern District of Florida on or before September 25, 2026. The Court respectfully reminds the litigants to ensure that they are complying with all applicable rules and procedures moving forward. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 9/22/2026.
