(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. Otherwise, the government shall file a response by September 25, 2026. In its response, the government shall also address whether the Court should waive the prudential requirement for Petitioner to exhaust her administrative remedies by appealing the bond determination to the Board of Immigration Appeals. 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 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.
