MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Gloria M. Navarro on 5/26/2026. The Court has issued an Order granting the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, and Federal Respondents filed the 15 Status Report certifying that Petitioner was given a bond hearing in compliance with the Court's Order. Though Federal Respondents' status report is not a joint status report and therefore does not comply with the Court's Order requiring a joint status report, Petitioner's counsel has not filed any response or indicated that Petitioner was not in fact released on bond. Accordingly, the Clerk's Office is kindly directed to enter judgment in favor of Petitioner and close this case.(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - ANH) (Entered: 05/26/2026)
