ORDER granting in part and denying in part 3 Petitioner's Motion for Leave to Proceed Under Pseudonym and for Protective Order. The Clerk of Court is directed to update the docket to reflect that the Petitioner in this case is "U.K." and to replace any reference to Petitioner's name currently on the docket with "U.K." However, Petitioner is advised that pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(c), access to the electronic files in this case is restricted only to case participants. Non-case participants may have remote access only to the Court's opinions, orders and judgments, which will only reveal Petitioner's pseudonym. If Petitioner believes that is not sufficient to maintain his safety then he may file a motion for leave to file under seal explaining why sealing is necessary. The Court will, however, direct that the Order dated December 4, 2025, ECF No. 2, be sealed because it contains Petitioner's full name. The Clerk of Court shall seal that Order. Signed by Magistrate Judge Kezia O. L. Taylor on December 10, 2025. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.

Reconsideration

Feb 14, 2026

Order on 25 Motion for Reconsideration. On 2/5/26 this Court entered an Order granting 9 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, to the extent it sought an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge. It is now the understanding of the Court that Petitioner's order of removal became final on 1/28/26. This fact was not reflected anywhere on the docket at the time of the Court's ruling. The Government filed its 20 Response in opposition on 1/29/26 with no indication that the status of Petitioner's detention had changed. Now, 8 days since the Court's order was entered the Court is learning that Petitioner's status was changed 17 days ago. In addition, the Government has failed to attach the Bureau of Immigration Appeal's final order of removal to their motion to substantiate its claim. A motion for reconsideration with respect to a final order or judgment must rely on one of three grounds: (1) an intervening change in the law; (2) the availability of new evidence; or (3) the need to correct clear error of law or prevent manifest injustice. N. River Ins. Co. v. CIGNA Reinsurance Co., 52 F.3d 1194, 1218 (3d Cir. 1995). The purpose of such a motion is "to correct manifest errors of law or fact or to present newly discovered evidence." Bootay v. KBR, Inc., 437 Fed. Appx. 140, 146-47 (3d Cir. 2011) (citing Harsco Corp. v. Zlotnicki, 779 F.2d 906, 909 (3d Cir. 1985)). Until the government produces and files with this Court the Bureau of Immigration Appeal's final order of removal, the 25 Motion for Reconsideration hereby is DENIED. Signed by Judge Stephanie L. Haines on 2/14/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (cag) (Entered: 02/14/2026)
