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returned to the court, or otherwise receives information that the address of record for a self-represented plaintiff is no longer valid, the court may issue an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with this order.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 Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 3/18/2024) (tro) (Entered: 12/05/2025)

ORDER: Petitioners, their next friend Nana Tilley, filed a Petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The Court, having examined the petition in this action, hereby ORDERS that: (i) On or before December 9, 2025, the Government shall file a letter with the following information: a. Petitioners' A-numbers and current place of detention; b. The statutory provision(s) under which Respondents assert the authority to detain Petitioners; c. A copy of any final order of removal; and d. Any information regarding the procedural posture of any pending Department of Homeland Security or Executive Office for Immigration Review proceedings; and (ii) On or before December 10, 2025, the Government shall file an opposition as to why this petition for a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. (iii) Petitioners shall have the opportunity to reply on or before December 17, 2025. (iv) The parties shall appear for a conference regarding the petition on December 23, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 618 of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, New York. Respondents shall produce Petitioners at this hearing. (v) To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the Petition, Petitioners shall not be removed from the United States without an order by this Court allowing such removal. See, e.g., M.K. v. Joyce, No. 25 Civ. 1935 (JMF), 2025 WL 750599, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 10, 2025) ("To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed unless and until the Court orders otherwise." (emphasis omitted)); Garcia-Izquierdo v. Gartner, No. 4 Civ. 7377 (RCC), 2004 WL 2093515, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 17, 2004) ("Under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Court may order that a petitioner's deportation be stayed when a stay is necessary to preserve the Court's jurisdiction of the case."). (vi) Moreover, to facilitate resolution of the Petition, Petitioners shall not be transferred, except to a facility within this District, the Eastern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. See Samb v. Joyce, No. 25 Civ. 6373 (DEH) (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 4, 2025) (Dkt. #3 at 2) (collecting cases in support of enjoining transfer of petitioner outside of New York City area). (vii) 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 at the following email address: jeffrey.oestericher@usdoj.gov. (viii) The Clerk of Court shall mail a copy of this Order to Petitioners' Next Friend. Petitioner's next friend may receive court documents by email, rather than mail, by completing the Consent to Electronic Service form. ix) The Clerk of Court shall also mail Petitioners' Next Friend an information package. ( Responses due by 12/10/2025, Replies due by 12/17/2025., Status Conference set for 12/23/2025 at 02:00 PM in Courtroom 618, 40 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007 before Judge Katherine Polk Failla.)
