STANDING ORDER IN RE CASES FILED BY PRO SE PLAINTIFFS (See 24-MISC-127 Standing Order filed March 18, 2024). To ensure that all cases heard in the Southern District of New York are handled promptly and efficiently, all parties must keep the court apprised of any new contact information. It is a party's obligation to provide an address for service; service of court orders cannot be accomplished if a party does not update the court when a change of address occurs. Accordingly, all self-represented litigants are hereby ORDERED to inform the court of each change in their address or electronic contact information. Parties may consent to electronic service to receive notifications of court filings by email, rather than relying on regular mail delivery. Parties may also ask the court for permission to file documents electronically. Forms, including instructions for consenting to electronic service and requesting permission to file documents electronically, may be found by clicking on the hyperlinks in this order, or by accessing the forms on the courts website, nysd.uscourts.gov/forms. The procedures that follow apply only to cases filed by pro se plaintiffs. If the court receives notice from the United States Postal Service that an order has been returned to the court, or otherwise receives information that the address of record for a self-represented plaintiff is no longer valid, the court may issue an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with this order. Such order will be sent to the plaintiffs last known address and will also be viewable on the court's electronic docket. A notice directing the parties' attention to this order shall be docketed (and mailed to any self-represented party that has appeared and has not consented to electronic service) upon the opening of each case or miscellaneous matter that is classified as pro se in the court's records. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 3/18/2024) (nb) (Entered: 11/24/2025)

ORDER TO ANSWER, 28 U.S.C. § 2241... The Court, having examined the petition in this action, hereby ORDERS that: The Clerk of Court shall electronically notify the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York that this Order has been issued. The U.S. Attorney's Office shall file an answer or other pleadings in response to the petition on or before December 10, 2025. Respondents should also address whether Petitioner was located in the Southern District of New York at the time that the Petition was filed. The Court directs Respondents to notify the Court promptly of the location where Petitioner is detained and to continue promptly to update the Court of any change of location. To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise. See, e.g., Kuprashvili v. Flanagan, No. 25-CV-5268 (PAE) (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2025) (collecting cases staying removal to maintain the status quo). SO ORDERED. (Pam Bondi answer due on 12/10/2025; LaDeon Francis answer due on 12/10/2025; Kristi Noem answer due on 12/10/2025.) (Signed by Judge Andrew L.

ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEE OR IFP APPLICATION: Accordingly, within 30 days of the date of this order, Petitioner or Ms. Infante must pay the $5.00 filing fee or submit a completed and signed IFP application. If an IFP application is filed, it should be labeled with docket number 25-CV-9573 (ALC). If the Court grants the IFP application, this action will proceed without the prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). If Petitioner or Ms. Infante fail to comply with this order within the time allowed, and do not request additional time to respond, the Court will dismiss this action. Ms. Infante may receive court documents by email by completing the form, Consent toElectronic Service. Because, at this time, the petition makes no substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253. The Court certifies, under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and, therefore, IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue). The Court directs the Clerk of Court to mail a copy of this order to Ms. Infante at the address listed on the docket sheet for this action and by email to joss_andrea94@hotmail.com. SO ORDERED. Filing Fee due by 12/24/2025. In Forma Pauperis (IFP) Application due by 12/24/2025. (Signed by Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr on 11/24/2025) (rro) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
