MINUTE ORDER. The Court STRIKES the motion for judgment 27 for failure to comply with this District's local civil rules. There is no provision allowing a same-day "motion for judgment," and motions to shorten time have been abolished. W.D. Wash. Loc. Civ. R. 6(b). If petitioner seeks an expedited ruling on his habeas petition - which was delayed because of his counsel's failure to name the correct respondent - counsel may reach out to the U.S. Attorney's office to inquire whether they will stipulate to waive their return to the amended petition and rely on the original return. Otherwise, the Court will rule on the amended habeas petition after the government has its opportunity to be heard. Authorized by District Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright. (MW) (Entered: 01/20/2026)
