ORDER. Petitioner Everado Antonio Godoy Palencia, a self-represented immigrant detainee, moved for immediate release or an individualized bond hearing on an emergency basis. Dkt. No. 2 . Because the emergency motion improperly requests the ultimate relief sought in his pending habeas petition, the motion is denied. Petitioner's petition remains pending, and the Court will enter a separate order requiring the respondent to file an answer and setting a briefing schedule. The Clerk is directed to change the caption to reflect that the Warden of the Eden Detention Center is the only proper respondent. All other named respondents will be terminated from this civil action. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 8/11/2026) (kmr) (Entered: 08/11/2026)
