ORDER setting a hearing on June 9, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. regarding Petitioner Jane Doe's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief. (Doc. 1.) On March 3, 2025, the court issued an Order to Show Cause directing Respondents to show cause as to "why a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted to determine whether Ms. Doe 'was ordered removed under [8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1).]'" (Doc. 17) (quoting 8 U.S.C. § 1252(e)(2)(B)). In doing so, the court noted Ms. Doe's contention that neither she nor her counsel had been provided with a completed and signed Order of Removal. The Respondents' March 17, 2025 response to the Order to Show Cause argues that this case is now moot, but did not address the court's question of whether Ms. Doe was ordered removed and, if so, whether it provided a copy of the removal order to opposing counsel. (Doc. 24.) Opposing counsel represents that no complete Order of Removal has been produced. (Doc. 25.) Accordingly, the court sets the matter for an evidentiary hearing. Although Ms. Doe has been transferred to the Richwood Correctional Center in Richwood, Louisiana since filing her petition, this court retains jurisdiction pursuant to Ex parte Endo, 323 U.S. 283, 306 (1944); see also Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 441 (2004) ("Endo stands for the important but limited proposition that when the Government moves a habeas petitioner after she properly files a petition naming her immediate custodian, the District Court retains jurisdiction and may direct the writ to any respondent within its jurisdiction who has legal authority to effectuate the prisoner's release."). (This is a text-only Order.) Signed by Chief District Judge Christina Reiss on 3/24/2025. (ejh) Date of hearing clarified on 3/24/2025 (law). (Entered: 03/24/2025)
