ENDORSED ORDER re 23 Status Report. Text of Order: In a recent status report (doc. no. 23), petitioner "continues to seek immediate release" based on an allegedly constitutionally deficient bond hearing. To reach the merits of petitioner's habeas claim would necessarily require that the court first rule on the respondents' motion to reconsider its assertion of jurisdiction over this petition and petitioner. The court requests clarification from petitioner's counsel that petitioner does in fact request that the court immediately resolve the pending motion to reconsider (doc. no. 19 ), to which the petitioner has not filed an opposition.
