TEXT ORDER: A petition was filed, see ECF 1, a bail hearing was ordered, see ECF 2, and it was conducted. See ECF 10 . Therefore, it appears that the petition should be dismissed. See Chiquito Barzola v. Warden, 2025 WL 3443487, at *1 (D.N.J. Dec. 1, 2025). If a party has a different view, it should explain why in a brief letter, to be filed on or before March 27 at 5:00pm. If no persuasive letter is received, the petition will be promptly dismissed. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/25/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/25/2026)

TEXT ORDER: The request at ECF 15 is denied, especially in light of the fact that the Petitioner does not contend that the March 26 hearing was conducted in a manner that was itself unlawful --- that, for example, it was conducted in a way that was inconsistent with the fundamentally fair hearing that Due Process requires. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 4/13/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 04/13/2026)
