Order of Referral to Magistrate Judge. Petitioner filed a petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (R. 1 ). Upon consideration, and pursuant to Local Rule 16.2, this matter is assigned to the administrative track and referred for report and recommended decision to Magistrate Judge Carmen E. Henderson, which referral shall include the issuance by the Magistrate Judge of any order requiring the respondent to answer, service of the petition, or any appropriate order directed to this matter, pursuant to Rule 4 of the Federal Rules Governing § 2254 Cases. (See Rule 1(b) of the Federal Rules Governing § 2254 cases, which extends the application of the Rules to habeas corpus petitions not filed under § 2254.) To the extent Petitioner contends that 28 U.S.C. § 2243 compels the Court to order the government to respond within three days, this Court disagrees. The Court leaves it to the sound discretion of the Magistrate Judge whether expedited briefing is appropriate in this matter. Judge David A. Ruiz on 4/24/2026. (G,CA) (Entered: 04/24/2026)
