ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: Upon consideration of Petitioner's 1 Verified Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (the "Verified Petition"), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1) Petitioner shall cause a copy of this order and the Verified Petition to be served on Respondents by January 2, 2026; 2) Petitioner shall file proof of service on the docket by January 5, 2026; 3) Respondents are ORDERED to file a return to the order to show cause why the Verified Petition should not be granted by January 5, 2026, see 28 U.S.C. § 2243; 4) The parties are further ORDERED to appear before this Court for a hearing on the petition on January 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 6C South before Judge Orelia E. Merchant. Moreover, to preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the Eastern District of New York until further order of this Court. M.K. v. Joyce, 25-cv-01935-JMF, 2025 WL 750599, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 10, 2025) ("To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise."); see Local 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n v. N.Y. Shipping Ass'n, 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992) ("Once the district court acquires jurisdiction over the subject matter of, and the parties to, the litigation, 'the All Writs Act [28 U.S.C. § 1651] authorizes a federal court to protect that jurisdiction.'" (alteration in original) (quoting United States v. Int'l Bhd. of Teamsters, 907 F.2d 277, 281 (2d Cir. 1990))); Garcia-Izquierdo v. Gartner, 04 Civ. 7377(RCC), 2004 WL 2093515, at *2 (S.D.N.Y.

Michael v. I.N.S., 48 F.3d 657, 661-62 (2d Cir. 1995) (holding that the All Writs Act provides a federal court of appeals reviewing a final removal order with a basis to stay removal). SO ORDERED by Judge Orelia E. Merchant on 1/2/2026. (MMP) (Entered: 01/02/2026)
