DANILO FRANCISCO CORTEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

KIRSTJEN M. NIELSEN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.19-cv-00754-JSC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

Re: Dkt. No. 1

Petitioner, a detainee in immigration custody, filed a habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has paid the $5.00 filing fee. The petition sets forth two claims 

challenging Petitioner’s detention: (1) violation of Petitioner’s Fifth Amendment due process 

rights; and (2) violation of his right to bail under the Eighth Amendment. 

These claims, when liberally construed, are cognizable and potentially meritorious. Good 

cause appearing, Respondent is hereby ordered to show cause why the petition should not be 

granted. 

In order to expedite the resolution of this case, it is further ordered as follows: 

1. The Clerk shall serve Respondent and Respondent’s attorney, the Attorney General of 

the United States, with a copy of this order and the petition with all attachments. 

2. Respondent shall file with the court and serve on petitioner, within 20 days of service of 

the petition and this order, an answer showing cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be 

granted based on the claims found cognizable herein. Respondent shall file with the answer and 

serve on Petitioner a copy of all portions of the administrative record that have been transcribed

previously and that are relevant to a determination of the issues presented by the petition. 

If Petitioner wishes to respond to the answer, he shall do so by filing a traverse with the 

court and serving it on Respondent within 7 days of the date the answer is filed.
