ELECTRONIC ORDER : Before the Court is the pro se Petitioner's Request for Expedited Consideration. Doc. 16 at 4. Petitioner renews his request for ruling because he has been detained for over six months. He asserts there is no legitimate basis for his detention. Petitioner has not met his burden to show good cause to expedite a ruling. "There is no statutory or constitutional right to the disposition of a [habeas petition] within a specific time." United States v. Samples, 897 F.2d 193, 194 (5th Cir. 1990). Further, a federal district court has inherent power to control its docket and determine the order in which to hear and decide pending cases. See United States v. Colomb, 419 F.3d 292, 299 (5th Cir. 2005). Although 28 U.S.C. § 1657 requires federal courts to expedite matters if good cause is shown, that requirement is "relative, not specific." Samples, 897 F.3d at 195; see also 28 U.S.C. § 1657(a). Therefore, Petitioner's motion to expedite is DENIED. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Renee Harris Toliver on 6/22/2026) (chmb) (Entered: 06/22/2026)
