ELECTRONIC ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's motion to expedite consideration of her petition for a writ of habeas corpus. ECF No. 8. "There is no statutory or constitutional right to the disposition of a [habeas petition] within a specific time." United States v. Samples, 897 F.2d 193, 194 (5th Cir. 1990). Further, a federal district court has inherent power to control its docket and determine the order in which to hear and decide pending cases. See United States v. Colomb, 419 F.3d 292, 299 (5th Cir. 2005). Although 28 U.S.C. § 1657 requires courts to expedite civil cases if good cause is shown, that requirement is "relative, not specific." Samples, 897 F.2d at 195; see also 28 U.S.C. § 1657(a). Here, Petitioner argues that expedited consideration is appropriate because of the conditions of confinement at her detention facility, because she fears "retaliatory" transfer or removal, because her detention hampers her ability to litigate her removal proceedings, and because her pro se and incarcerated status make it difficult to communicate with the Court. ECF No. 8 at 4. But a request to expedite requires more than the ordinary burdens associated with a pending habeas action; it requires a showing of good cause warranting priority treatment. Petitioner has not identified circumstances demonstrating that her case warrants priority treatment over other matters pending before the Court. Thus, Petitioner's motion for expedited consideration is DENIED. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Rebecca Rutherford on 9/22/2026) (chmb) (Entered: 09/22/2026)
