MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey on 5/27/2026. On April 20, 2026, petitioner Luis Rangel Rocha filed a threadbare petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking his release from immigration custody. 1 I appointed the FPD as counsel for petitioner and directed counsel to file an amended petition, if one was warranted, and stayed the respondents' obligation to respond until further order. 3 Petitioner has now filed a counseled amended petition, and I find that it states a prima facie case for relief. 8 I thus direct the respondents to file a response to the amended petition by June 3, 2026. The respondents must file any documents referenced or relied upon in their responsive pleading with that pleading. The petitioner's reply is due June 10, 2026. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - MH) (Entered: 05/27/2026)
