SERVICE ORDER. It is hereby ORDERED that the District Clerk shall furnish the Office of the United States Attorney in San Antonio, Texas, with copies of the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) and this Order. It is FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall serve Warden, Karnes County Immigrant Processing Center with copies of the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) and this Order. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall file a response to the Petition within five (5) days of the date of service.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that, if Petitioner elects to file a reply, Petitioner may do sono later than seven days after the Respondents file their answers/responses.. Signed by Judge Xavier Rodriguez.
