TEXT ORDER. The Court is in receipt of Respondents' Answer and Opposition to the Petition, (ECF No. 9), which does not address certain relevant aspects of the Petition. First, Petitioner asserts that he has an appeal pending before the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") and that he requested a stay of removal pending resolution of that appeal. (ECF No. 1-1 at 7). Although Respondents address whether an automatic stay of removal applies, (see ECF No. 9-10 at n.1), they do not reference the filing of a motion for a stay with the BIA and do not address the effect, if any, of such motion. Second, Petitioner alleges that he previously filed a habeas corpus petition in federal court in Louisiana that remained pending when he was transferred to this District. (ECF No. 1 at 5). Respondents do not address the status of that petition, whether it was adjudicated or what, if any, effect it has on the Petition presently before this Court. Accordingly, by August 17, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., Respondents shall file a supplemental submission addressing both issues. The Court further observes that Petitioner may presently be represented by counsel in his administrative immigration proceedings. (See ECF No. 1-1 at 10; ECF No. 9-4 at 2). Accordingly, by August 27, 2026, Petitioner shall inform the Court whether he has retained counsel in connection with this matter. If so, counsel shall promptly enter an appearance. If not, Petitioner shall, by the same date, inform the Court whether he intends to continue to proceed pro se or wishes to apply for the appointment of pro bono counsel. Finally, Respondents shall personally serve upon Petitioner a copy of this Order and the Court's Application for Pro Bono Counsel, Form DNJ-Pro Bono-005 (06/2025), and shall promptly file proof of such service. So Ordered by Judge Christine P. O'Hearn on 8/13/2026. (jml, ) (Entered: 08/13/2026)
