Order and Notice of Deficiency. The Clerk is directed to change the caption of this case to reflect that the only proper petitioner is Leannder Alexis Alfonzo Lopez, who is proceeding pro se. Monica Fernanda Castano Arana will be removed as a party to the case. However, the case cannot proceed without any suggestion of interest from Lopez. As a result, if Petitioner Lopez wishes to pursue these habeas claims, he must file an amended petition within 30 days. The amended petition must be signed. The Court cautions Lopez that an amended petition will supersede and replace the original petition, so he must include all applicable grounds for relief in the amended petition. If Lopez fails to timely file an amended petition, the Court will dismiss this action for want of prosecution without further notice. Additionally, because Arana lacks standing to seek relief on behalf of Lopez, the Court denies the emergency motion for immediate release or expedited review without prejudice to Lopez's right to seek relief in his own name 2 . The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this order to Arana. But she will not receive any further notice of the proceedings here. The Clerk is also directed to mail Petitioner Leannder Alexis Alfonzo Lopez a copy of the original petition filed here, Dkt. No. 1 and a blank Section 2241 form marked, "amended" and stamped with this cause number. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 1/23/2026) (mms) (Entered: 01/23/2026)
