TEXT ORDER: In response to the petition for a writ of habeas corpus (DN 1 ), the Court directs respondents to show cause, no later than 12/9/25, why the writ should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. On first review, the petition doesn't seem to implicate any factual disputes necessitating an in-person hearing. The Court also directs the parties to file, no later than 12/10/25, a joint status report or separate letters advising the Court whether they agree or instead if one or both parties seek a hearing. Absent an affirmative request, the Court will set a briefing schedule and decide the petition on the papers. The Clerk of Court shall forward by certified mail, return receipt requested, one copy of the petition and this order on each Respondent. This Notice of Electronic Filing is the Official ORDER for this entry. No document is attached.cc: Counsel, Respondents (via certified mail) (HMC) (Entered: 12/05/2025)

TEXT ORDER (EBOC): The Petitioner filed a document (DN 16 -1) containing personal data identifiers that should be redacted under Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2. The Court directs the Clerk to restrict electronic access to the document so only Court users and participants may view it. The Court further orders the Petitioner to file a motion to seal the document or a motion seeking leave to file a redacted version of the entire document (since the Clerk cannot replace individual pages within documents) along with a copy of the redacted version within 7 days of the entry of this order, which the Clerk may substitute for the previously filed documents if the Court grants the motion. This Notice of Electronic Filing is the Official ORDER for this entry. No document is attached.cc: Counsel (HMC) (Entered: 12/19/2025)
