ORDER. The Court has reviewed the parties' pleadings, relevant records, and applicable law. For the reasons stated in Respondent's response, the Court concludes that del Valle fails to demonstrate that his detention is unlawful and, in turn, fails to demonstrate that he is entitled to the relief that he seeks in his petition. Del Valle's petition is therefore denied and dismissed with prejudice. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 6/16/2026) (amg) (Entered: 06/16/2026)
