Respondents.

CV F 07-00807 LJO DLB HC

ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO

SUBMIT RESPONSE TO PETITIONER’S

OBJECTIONS ADDRESSING THE

APPLICABILITY OF 8 USC § 1226

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 June 1, 2007. Respondent

filed a response on July 23, 2007, and Petitioner filed a traverse on August 27, 2007. (Court

Docs. 20, 28.) On October 4, 2007, the undersigned issued a Findings and Recommendation that

the petition be denied. (Court Doc. 32.) Petitioner filed objections to the Recommendation on

October 23, 2007.

In his objections, Petitioner states that the Respondent has failed to address why 8 U.S.C.

§ 1226 does not apply to him. The Court finds that Petitioner’s objection may have merit, and

Respondent must file a response addressing and applying § 1226 to the instant petition. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order, Respondent shall

file a response to Petitioner’s objection addressing and applying § 1226 to the
