MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 6/30/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review of the Petition appears to state a claim on which Petitioner is entitled to relief. Respondents are ordered to show cause on or before July 7, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. [TEXT ONLY ORDER] (Deputy Clerk JRW) (Entered: 06/30/2026)
