MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 11/24/2025. The Court finds Petitioner's allegations in the Amended Motion establish a prima facie case for relief similar to that provided to petitioners in Herrera v. Knight, No. 2:25-CV-01366-RFB-DJA, 2025 WL 2581792 (D. Nev. Sept. 5, 2025) and Petitioner Escobar-Salgado in Escobar Salgado v. Mattos, 2:25-CV-01872-RFB-EJY, 2025 WL 3205356 (D Nev. Nov. 17, 2025). The Court further finds that ordering the parties to produce documents in their possession that reflect the basis of Petitioner's detention is necessary for the Court to "dispose of the matter as law and justice require." See Harris v. Nelson, 394 U.S. 286, 290 (1969) (holding that "a district court, confronted by a petition for habeas corpus which establishes a prima facie case for relief, may use or authorize the use of suitable discovery procedures... reasonably fashioned to elicit facts necessary to help the court to 'dispose of the matter as law and justice require.'") (citing 28 U.S.C. § 2243). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties must supplement the record with any documents in their possession relevant to Petitioner's arrest, detention, and removal proceedings, including, but not limited to, an arrest warrant, Notice to Appear, Form-286, Form I-213, bond decision by an IJ, Form EOIR-43, Notice of Appeal, and Certification pursuant to an automatic stay under 8 C.F.R. §§ 1003.19(i)(2), 1003.6(c). If these documents are not in their possession, they must indicate so in response to this Order. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties file their supplement in response to this Order on or before 11/25/2025.(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - CMB) (Entered: 11/24/2025)
