PAPERLESS ORDER decertifying the emergency relief sought in Plaintiff's Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (DE 1 ). The Application was not properly certified as an emergency pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(d)(1), however it seeks an emergency order cancelling the February 4, 2026 removal hearing pending the resolution of this matter. Given that the date has passed, the emergency relief is moot. The Application will be reviewed in the ordinary course. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 2/18/2026. (kid) (Entered: 02/18/2026)
