MINUTE ORDER: This matter comes before me on Petitioner Dieucera Jacques's Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, and Respondents' response to it, ECF No. 6 . In the response, Respondents state that they are "not submitting a brief in opposition to the Petition." Resp. to Pet. at 1. Respondents also submit "the appropriate relief would be an order directing Respondents... [to] release Petitioner from detention." Id. at 2. As Respondents chose not to submit "a brief in opposition" I treat Mr. Dieucera Jacques's allegations as true, namely that his arrest was effectuated without a warrant and does not fall under the exception of a warrantless arrest. Id. at 2; see Burlington N. R. Co. v. Huddleston, 94 F.3d 1413, 1415 (10th Cir. 1996) ("By failing to submit an answer or other pleading denying the factual allegations of Plaintiff's complaint, Defendant admitted those allegations, thus placing no further burden upon Plaintiff to prove his case factually").In light of these considerations, the Petitioner's allegations, and Respondents' Response, I GRANT Petitioner Dieucera Jacques's habeas application, ECF No. 1 .It is ORDERED that Respondents shall release Petitioner from custody immediately along with all his belongings by no later than within 24 hours of this Order and may not impose any additional conditions of release or supervision beyond those Petitioner was subject to immediately prior to his recent detention. The parties SHALL FILE a joint status report within FIVE DAYS of this Order certifying compliance with this Order. Respondents are further ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from re-detaining Petitioner unless Respondents demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing, that Petitioner Dieucera Jacquess is a flight risk or danger to the community such that his physical custody is legally justified. At any such bond hearing, the government shall bear the burden of proof. Santillan Quiroz, 180 F.4th at 1251 n.13; see also Sanchez-Barrientos v. Venturella, 26-cv-04027-JLK, by Judge John L. Kane on 10/27/2026. Text Only Entry For all non-e-filer pro se parties, a copy of this document has been sent via U.S. Mail to the mailing address of record. (ccuen, ) (Entered: 10/27/2026)
