ELECTRONIC NOTICE OF JUDICIAL SCREENING AND STANDING ORDER. Judicial screening of this case is pending. See Rule 1(b) and Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 habeas cases. The Court will order Respondent to file an answer, if necessary, after screening is complete.

It is further ORDERED that Petitioner must promptly notify the Court in writing of any change of address by filing a written Notice of Change of Address with the Clerk of the Court.

ELECTRONIC ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's Emergency Motion to Expedite Review of Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Doc. 3 . Petitioner requests to expedite the Respondent's response because he has been detained since July 3, 2025, and the BIA recently remanded his case. Petitioner has not met his burden to show good cause to expedite a ruling. He seemingly overlooks that the strict time limits of 28 U.S.C. § 2243 are subordinate to the Court's discretionary authority to set deadlines under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts. See Castillo v. Pratt, 162 F. Supp. 2d 575, 57577 (N.D. Tex. 2001); Beaird v. Joslin, No. 3:05-cv-1833-K (BH), 2006 WL 2473338, at *3 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 11, 2006), rec. adopted, 2006 WL 2459378 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 22, 2006). Further, given the sheer volume of habeas litigation recently filed by alien detainees, the Court is not inclined to set a precedent for shortening the established deadline for response without a demonstration of good cause. Therefore, Petitioner's request to expedite is DENIED. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Renee Harris Toliver on 5/8/2026) (chmb) (Entered: 05/08/2026)
