MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Sean C.

ECF Nos. 5 & 22 . In light of respondents' notice filed on January 9, 2026 indicating that petitioner has received a travel document to Cambodia, ECF No. 21 -1, the court GRANTS defendant's motion, ECF No. 22, and vacates the provision prohibiting the transfer of petitioner to a different district. All other provisions of the December 3, 2025 order remain in effect. In light of Petitioner's apparently imminent removal from the United States, the parties shall meet and confer as to whether a stipulation of dismissal of the petition is warranted. The parties shall file such stipulation, or a joint statement as to their respective positions on the status of the petition, on or before January 23, 2026. (Deputy Clerk SH) (Entered: 01/16/2026)
