ORDER by Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai: This matter remains set for an evidentiary hearing and oral argument on the Petition on December 15, 2026, at 9:30AM in Eugene Courtroom 1 before Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai. Respondents are further ordered to produce all documents involved in Petitioner's arrest and detention, including but not limited to any I-213s and I-200s, as well as any body camera footage of Petitioner's arrest and detention to the Court and to Petitioner no later than December 8, 2026. Any body camera footage must be submitted in MP4 file format using H.264 video and AAC audio. To the extent the parties believe a protective order is necessary before these items may be produced, the parties are ordered to confer and submit a proposed stipulated protective order in advance of the date the production is due to allow for its timely production. Pursuant to Rule 6(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts, and based upon the specific allegations before the Court, the Court finds good cause to authorize discovery under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Bracy v. Gramley, 520 U.S. 899, 909 (1997) (good cause exists for discovery in habeas cases "where specific allegations before the court show reason to believe that the petitioner may, if the facts are fully developed, be able to demonstrate that he is... entitled to relief") (citation omitted). Thus, this order does not preclude Petitioner from seeking discovery sooner than December 8, 2026, pursuant to properly served requests for production. (bd) (Entered: 10/14/2026)
