ENDORSED ORDER directing Respondents to respond to 7 the Warden's Motion to Dismiss. Response due by April 2, 2026. 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 3/12/2026. (BLW) Signed by District Judge Kyle C. Dudek on 3/19/2026. (BLW) (Entered: 03/19/2026)
