MINUTE ORDER by U.S. District Judge David G Estudillo. At 8:34 AM on May 8, 2026, the Court dismissed this case because Petitioner failed to file an amended petition by the deadline set in the Court's previous order. At 3:03 PM on May 8th, the Clerk's office informed the Court that Petitioner had in fact filed an amended petition with the Court that was docketed after the Courts order was issued. The amended petition appears to have been mailed before the deadline. Accordingly, the Court's order dismissing this case (Dkt. No. 9) is STRICKEN and the Clerk is directed to re-open this case. The Court will issue a new order related to the amended petition upon its review of the Petition. (MET) cc: petitioner via USPS (Entered: 05/11/2026)
