ORDER FOR SERVICE. It is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall furnish the Office of the United States Attorney in San Antonio, Texas, with copies of the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) and this Order. Delivery by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Delivery by certified mail, return receipt requested. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall file a response to the Petition within five (5) days of the date of service. Because this case appears to turn on whether 8 U.S.C. § 1225 authorizes Petitioners detention, Respondents must consider the Courts prior orders addressing this question and note any material factual differences between those cases and this one. It is FURTHER ORDERED that, if Petitioner elects to file a reply, Petitioner may do so no later than seven days after the Respondents file their answers/responses.. Signed by Judge Xavier Rodriguez.
