MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 10/22/2026. Petitioner, Lazaro Omar Morales Lima (A# 088-331-548), a self-represented immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The petition, liberally construed, asserts two violations of petitioner's due process rights: one based on prolonged detention and another based on revocation of his release. Respondents are directed to respond to the petition within 7 days from the date of this order. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish this case from Mena P. v. Warden, No. 1:26-cv-04606-TLN-JDP, 2026 WL 1846728 (E.D. Cal. June 25, 2026), Walter Antonio M.S. v. Chestnut, No. 2:26-cv-01134-TLN-AC, 2026 WL 2110882 (E.D. Cal. July 22, 2026), Yang v. Kaiser, et al., No. 2:25-cv-2205-DAD-AC (HC), 2025 WL 2791778 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 20, 2025), Rondon Morejon v. Warden, No. 1:26-cv-6761-DAD-AC, 2026 WL 2621039 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 4, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court. The court will construe failure to distinguish the above cited cases as a concession that the cases are not substantively distinguishable. Any response must include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants or notices, and, if respondents dispute any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. The court also takes judicial notice of the information on the ICE Inmate Locator website, operated by the Department of Homeland Security, available at https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search (last visited October 22, 2026). See Fed. R. Evid. 201. As of the date of this order, the court checked the system and was unable to locate petitioner. Respondent shall also provide a status report regarding petitioner's custody. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days after being served a copy of respondents' response. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 10/22/2026)
