ORDER

Petitioner Martin Lopez-Heredia, a native and citizen of Mexico, is being detained at

the federal detention center in Eloy, Arizona. Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, arguing that his current detention while in removal

proceedings is contrary to law. Dkt. #1. United States Magistrate Judge Glenda Edmonds

has issued a report and recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court grant the

petition unless the Government provides a bail hearing to Petitioner within 60 days of the

Court’s order. Dkt. #28.

Respondents have filed an unopposed motion to hold proceedings in abeyance

pending extrajudicial resolution efforts. Dkt. #27. Respondents assert that pursuant to two

recent Ninth Circuit cases, Petitioner may be entitled to a bond hearing before an

immigration judge. Id. at 1 (citations omitted). Respondents request that the Court hold

proceedings in abeyance until October 3, 2008. Id. at 1-2.
