PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Elmer Adan Gomez Morales's Verified Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1 . Respondent has filed a response arguing that "the Petition should be denied on account of Petitioner's failure to exhaust administrative remedies." ECF No. 8 at 6. Respondent represents that "Petitioner here has not requested a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge even though he is eligible for one" and further states that Petitioner is detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and can "request[] a custody redetermination." Id. at 2, 4. Accordingly, Respondent is hereby ORDERED to supplement its response to specifically address (1) whether Petitioner can still request a bond hearing and any applicable time limits to make such request, (2) how and to whom Petitioner can make such a request, and (3) the time frame for when a bond hearing would be given if Petitioner requests one under the process described by Respondent. Respondent shall file this supplement within two days of this Order. Signed by Judge Jacqueline Becerra (esr) (Entered: 10/16/2026)
