ORDER GRANTING

RESPONDENTS’ EX PARTE

MOTION TO HOLD

PROCEEDINGS IN ABEYANCE

PENDING EXTRAJUDICIAL

RESOLUTION EFFORTS

On August 8, 2008, Respondent in this habeas corpus proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2241 filed an Ex Parte Motion to Hold Proceedings in Abeyance Pending Extrajudicial

Resolution Efforts (“Application”). Petitioner has not filed an opposition. 

Respondent requests to hold these proceedings in abeyance until September 8, 2008 in

order to comply with Prieto-Romero v. Mukasey, __ F.3d __, 2008 WL 2853396 (9th Cir. Jul.

25, 2008), and Casas-Castrillon v. DHS, __ F.3d __, 2008 WL 2902026 (9th Cir. Jul. 25, 2008),

which strongly suggest that Petitioner should receive a bond hearing before an immigration

judge. Respondent believes that Petitioner’s claims may be resolved before September 8, 2008

without court intervention.

For good cause having been shown, Respondent’s Application is GRANTED. The

instant proceeding shall be held in abeyance until September 8, 2008. IT IS FURTHER
