TEXT ORDER: The Petitioner has filed two challenges to his bond hearing. ECF 1 (26-12445); ECF 10 (26-11637). The new Petition in 26-12445 appears better suited as a brief in support of his first bond hearing challenge, ECF 10 (26-11637). The Court will not allow the Petitioner to maintain two cases challenging the same bond hearing. On or before September 23 at noon, the Petitioner shall file a short letter stating which case he wishes to pursue and which attorney(s) he wishes to represent him. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 9/22/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 09/22/2026)
