UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THY VANN,

Petitioner,

v.

JOHN RATHMAN, Warden,

Respondents.

Case No.: 18cv203-CAB-NLS

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

On January 29, 2018, Petitioner Thy Vann filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2241, requesting that the Court compel the Respondents to appear 

and show cause why he should not be immediately released from the custody of 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) because Petitioner had been detained 

longer than six months after his deportation order became final. [Doc. No. 1.] On 

January 22, 2018, this Court issued a scheduling order requesting a response from 

Respondents by February 22, 2018, and a reply from Petitioner by March 8, 2018. [Doc. 

No. 2.] 

On February 21, 2018, Respondent filed a return to the petition and provided 

evidence that travel documents had been obtained for Petitioner to be returned to 

Cambodia, and that he was set to be removed the week of February 26, 2018. [Doc. No. 

3.] Given that information, as well as the fact that Petitioner has not filed a reply, the 

Case 3:18-cv-00203-CAB-NLS Document 4 Filed 03/20/18 PageID.<pageID> Page 1 of 2
