MINUTE ORDER Denying Without Prejudice Petition. Presently before the Court is Petitioner Daniel Lopez Mendoza's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. As previously ordered by this Court, see Minute Entry, Lopez Mendoza v. Warden, Case No. 26cv760 TWR (MSB) (S.D. Cal. entered Feb. 26, 2026), ECF No. 6, Petitioner received a bond hearing in March 2026, and now seeks review of the Immigration Judge's denial of bond. (See ECF No. 1 at 6.) Because Petitioner has failed to exhaust his administrative remedies by appealing to the Board of Immigration Appeals and has not raised any basis for waiving exhaustion, the Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the 1 Petition. See Leonardo v. Crawford, 646 F.3d 1157, 1161 (9th Cir. 2011) (remanding with the instruction to dismiss the petition without prejudice because the petitioner had not exhausted his administrative remedies or demonstrated grounds for excusing exhaustion). Because Petitioner is pro se, Respondent SHALL SERVE Petitioner with a copy of this Order. (All non-registered users served via U.S. Mail Service) (no document attached) (sxd) (Entered: 04/27/2026)
