MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 10/6/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review the issues raised in the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. Specifically, it appears that Petitioner's prior release from custody created a liberty interest that entitles Petitioner to pre-deprivation notice and opportunity to be heard. See Garcia Mariagua v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-01744-DJC-CSK; Ortega v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01663-DJC-CKD; Lopez v. Lyons, No. 2:25-cv-03174-DJC-CKD; see also M.B. v. Noem, 1:26-cv-00005-DJC-AC; Oli v. Andrews, No. 1:26-cv-00477-DJC-AC. Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before October 12, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus and order Petitioner's release based on the violation of Petitioner's due process rights by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. 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: 10/06/2026)
