ENDORSED ORDER directing Respondents to respond to 8 the Warden's Motion to Dismiss. Response due within 7 days of Respondents' appearance in this case. In doing so, they must specifically explain how their position in this case squares with the argument they routinely advance -- that the local warden is the sole proper respondent under Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 434-36 (2004). See, e.g., Roblero v. Warden, Florida Soft Side South, et al., No. 2:26-cv-91, Doc. 9 at 1 n.1 (M.D. Fla. 2026). Signed by District Judge Kyle C. Dudek on 3/13/2026. (BLW) (Entered: 03/13/2026)
