ORDER: On May 18, 2026, Petitioner initiated this case by filing a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus ("Petition") under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Dkt. 1.

No. 70 of Alameda Cnty., 415 U.S. 423, 439 (1974) ([O]ur entire jurisprudence runs counter to the notion of court action taken before reasonable notice and an opportunity to be heard has been granted both sides of a dispute.). Petitioner may submit a reply in support of the Petition by June 5, 2026. The parties submission should address how the Second Circuits recent decision in Barbosa da Cunha v. Freden, No. 25-3141-pr (2d Cir. Apr. 28, 2026), Dkt. 78, affects the instant case, if at all. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to electronically notify the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York that this Order has been issued. (And as further set forth herein.) SO ORDERED. Ken Genalo answer due on 5/29/2026; Todd Lyons answer due on 5/29/2026. (Signed by Judge John P. Cronan on 5/19/2026) (jca) (Entered: 05/19/2026)
