ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE

On May 23, 2005, the parties filed a Joint Status Report which, among other things,

informed the Court of the recently-enacted REAL ID Act of 2005, PL 109-13, Div. B, 119 Stat.

231 (“the Act”). Section 106(a) of the Act provides that habeas petitions pending in district

court on the effective date of the Act, May 11, 2005, shall be transferred to the Court of

Appeals, where it will be treated as a petition for review. Specifically, pursuant to section

106(c) of the Act, district courts are directed to transfer all pending habeas petitions filed under

28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging a final administrative order of removal, deportation, or exclusion,

to the court of appeals for the circuit in which a petition for review could have been properly

filed.

Based on the parties’ joint submission and the decision by Petitioner not to oppose the

transfer, the Court construes the Act to apply. Accordingly, the Court HEREBY VACATES all

pending deadlines and TRANSFERS this matter to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The

Court notes that the STAY issued on May 6, 2005 remains in full force and effect, pending

further order by the Court of Appeals.

The Clerk is directed to transfer this case forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
