MINUTE ORDER Denying Without Prejudice Petition. In their 14 Return, Respondents explain that Petitioner's order of removal became final on April 30, 2026. Accordingly, the six-month presumptively reasonable removal period under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001), does not expire until October 30, 2026. The Court therefore DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the 8 Amended Petition. Petitioner may file a renewed Petition after October 30, 2026, if there is no significant likelihood of his removal in the reasonably foreseeable future.
