ORDER Setting Hearing. Now, this 28th day of May, 2025, it hereby is ordered that a Motion Hearing on Petitioner's Preliminary Injunction Motion at ECF No. 2 is set for Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at 10:30 AM, in Courtroom A - Johnstown, before Judge Stephanie L. Haines. Based on the representations of the Government, it is the Court's understanding that Petitioner's removal likely would occur "within 30 days of issuance of the travel documents," and said travel documents have not yet been issued. (ECF No. 9 at 4; ECF No. 9-1 para. 24). Therefore, it is further ordered that if either party becomes aware of any action that expedites the removal timeline, making removal more imminent, said party shall immediately inform the Court. Signed by Judge Stephanie L. Haines on 5/28/2025. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.
