MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Guy Castillo on 10/19/2026: (Text Only Entry). On October 15, 2026, this Court ordered Respondent to show cause why Petitioner's petition should not be granted. In that order, the Court ordered Respondent "to address if, and if so how, the issues presented in the present petition differ from those resolved in the Court's prior orders. (Doc. 4 a 12 (citing Obando Vargas v. Blanche, No. 1:26-cv-05343-DAD-AC (HC), 2026 WL 2056618 (E.D. Cal. July 16, 2026); Galvan Olamendi v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-CV-5946-TLN-JDP, 2026 WL 2529758, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 27, 2026), report and recommendation adopted sub nom. Galvan O. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-CV-5946-TLN-JDP, 2026 WL 2588507 (E.D.

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on 11/3/2026: The Court has reviewed the pending findings and recommendations (Doc. 9 ) in light of the entire record. Though the Petition is somewhat conclusory, construing it liberally in light of the extensive caselaw establishing that the Cuban government is unlikely to repatriate individuals with criminal records, see, e.g., Veiga v. Bondi, No. 2:25-CV-02168-TMC, 2025 WL 3526067, at *1 (W.D. Wash. Dec. 9, 2025); see also Cabrera v. Senior Warden, No. C26-3073, 2026 WL 2249486, at *3 (C.D. Cal. Aug. 3, 2026) (discussing "Cuba's unwillingness to repatriate U.S. deportees" and collecting cases), the Court concludes that it appears that Petitioner has met his initial burden under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 687 (2001), to demonstrate there is "good reason to believe that there is no significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future." Thus, within five days, Respondents SHALL file a supplemental brief addressing the merits of the claim or a notice that they will stand on their current filing.
