UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BAHTA DANIEL HADGU.

Petitioner,

Case No. 19-cv-01316-BAS-WVG

ORDER DISMISSING 

DUPLICATIVE PETITION

[ECF No. 1] v.

DHS,

Respondent.

Pro se Petitioner Bahta Daniel Hadgu is a native and citizen of Eritrea who 

allegedly received asylum in Switzerland and who is detained at the Otay Mesa 

Detention Center in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On July 15, 2019, Petitioner filed two 

Petitions for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1; 

see also Hadgu v. DHS, No. 19-cv-01314-BAS-WVG (S.D. Cal. filed July 15, 

2019).) Upon review, the substance of these Petitions is identical. The Court already 

dismissed without prejudice the first Petition in Case No. 19-cv-1314. (ECF No. 7 

in No. 19-cv-1314.) Accordingly, the second Petition filed in this action is subject 

to dismissal for the same reasons. 

Furthermore, the Court will dismiss this second Petition because it is 

duplicative, and there is no reason for a second action to be pending simultaneously.

Consequently, the Court DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the Petition (ECF 

No. 1). The parties are ORDERED to not file any more items in this duplicative 

action. Instead, the parties are directed to follow the Court’s order in Case No. 19-

cv-1314. The Clerk of the Court shall close this duplicative case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
