MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan on 1/5/2026: A review of the docket indicates potential confusion concerning the briefing schedule for the 2241 petition in this case based on contradictory orders issued by the court. On December 10, 2025, respondents were ordered to file an answer/response within 20 days. ECF No. 5 . However, the Minute Order issued on December 30, 2025 substituting counsel for petitioner indicated that the parties were required to meet and confer and to submit a proposed briefing schedule by January 6, 2026. ECF No. 11. In light of the conflicting deadlines, the court sua sponte sets the following briefing schedule in this case: Respondents shall file an answer/response to the pending 2241 petition no later than January 8, 2026 and petitioner's reply shall be filed by January 12, 2026.
