MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 9/30/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review, the Petition appears to state a claim on which Petitioner is entitled to relief. Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before October 6, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. With their return, Respondents shall file the most recent available Form I-213 for Petitioner. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. [TEXT ONLY ENTRY] (Deputy Clerk GJM) (Entered: 09/30/2026)
