MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 8/05/2026: (Text Only Entry). Examination of this action reveals that it is related to Rizo-Sanchez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04349-KES-FJS and Rizo-Sanchez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04845-KES-FJS, within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). See Local Rule 123(a)(1), (2). Accordingly, the assignment of this matter to the same judge and magistrate judge as in Rizo-Sanchez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04349-KES-FJS and Rizo-Sanchez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04845-KES-FJS, is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the parties. It is hereby ORDERED that 1:26-cv-06171-VC is reassigned from District Judge Vince Chhabria to District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff and Magistrate Judge Frank J. Singer. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 1:26-cv-04845-KES-FJS. It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 08/05/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 8/06/2026: (Text Only Entry). The 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied. On January 20, 2026, police in Florida arrested petitioner for possession of cocaine, and he was transferred from state custody to ICE custody on the same date. Doc. 1 at ¶ ¶ 27, 29; Doc. 7-4, Rizo-Sanchez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04349-KES-FJS. At a prior bond hearing on May 28, 2026, the immigration judge found that the government had met its burden to show that petitioner was a danger and a flight risk. Doc. 7-4, Rizo-Sanchez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04349-KES-FJS. Petitioner argues, in his first claim, that due process required that he be provided a pre-deprivation bond hearing. Doc. 1 at ¶ ¶ 49-55. The Court disagrees. Although due process typically requires "predeprivation notice and hearing[,]" there is an exception when "some valid governmental interest is at stake that justifies postponing the hearing until after the event." United States v. James Daniel Good Real Prop., 510 U.S. 43, 53, 59-61 (1993). Petitioner's arrest for cocaine possession and his prompt transfer to ICE custody justified post-deprivation process. Petitioner argues, in his second claim, that his detention has become prolonged after his first bond hearing. However, Rodriguez Diaz v. Garland held that due process did not require a second bond hearing for a noncitizen who was detained for over fourteen months after his first § 1226(a) bond hearing. See Rodriguez Diaz v. Garland, 53 F.4th 1189, 1207-14 (9th Cir. 2022). Here, it has been just over two months since petitioner's last bond hearing. Petitioner attempts to distinguish Rodriguez Diaz, but the Court is not persuaded. He argues that his case is different because a prosecutor dismissed the criminal charge against him and he had previously complied with his monitoring and reporting requirements. He therefore, within his second claim, essentially requests that the Court review the immigration judge's determination that he is a flight risk and a danger, but the Court has already held that petitioner must exhaust his administrative remedies before seeking review of the immigration judge's decision in this Court. See Doc. 8, Rizo-Sanchez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04349-KES-FJS. The Clerk is directed to close this case and terminate any remaining motions as moot. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 08/06/2026)
