ENDORSED ORDER directing Respondents to respond to 14 the Warden's Motion to Dismiss. Response due by March 26, 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). Respondents must also respond to 10 the amended petition by that date. Signed by District Judge Kyle C. Dudek on 3/19/2026. (BLW) (Entered: 03/19/2026)
