UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAKHWINDER SINGH,

Petitioner,

v.

ATTORNEY GENERAL, et.al.,

Respondents.

 /

1:07-cv-00055-LJO-SMS (HC)

ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO

PROVIDE STATUS REPORT REGARDING

PETITIONER’S CURRENT DETENTION

Petitioner is detained by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“BICE”)

and is proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

 Petitioner filed the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus on January 11, 2007. (Court

Doc. 1.) On May 11, 2007, the Court issued an order to show cause why the petition should not

be granted. (Court Doc. 10.) Respondent filed a response on June 25, 2007, and Petitioner filed

a reply on August 10, 2007. (Court Docs. 12, 15.) 

In the petition, Petitioner challenges his detention after receiving a final order of removal

from the United States. Petitioner filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the

Ninth Circuit, and a stay of removal was issued on August 25, 2005. See Ninth Circuit Docket

No. 05-74966. A review of the Ninth Circuit’s docket indicates that on March 18, 2008, the

appellate case was dismissed pursuant to Petitioner’s request. As Petitioner’s detention was

based on the stay of removal issued by the Ninth Circuit, the Court requests Respondent to

submit a status report regarding Petitioner’s current detention.
