IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MOHAMAD SAFDAR SHEIKH,

Petitioner,

 v.

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, et al.

Respondents. /

No. C 03-05604 JSW

ORDER CLOSING CASE

WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO

REOPENING UPON FILING OF

AMENDED COMPLAINT

On February 23, 2006, this Court dismissed Mohamad Safdar Sheikh’s (“Sheikh”)

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus for failure to exhaust. (Docket No. 57.) That ruling was

without prejudice to Sheikh refiling an amended complaint under the Administrative Procedure

Act upon the conclusion of removal proceedings.

The Court requested status reports from the parties regarding Sheikh’s removal

proceedings. The Court has received and considered the second status report, which states that

Sheikh’s removal hearing is not set until November 2007. Because there is no further action

required from this Court unless and until Sheikh files an amended complaint, the Court finds it

appropriate, pursuant to its February 23, 2006 Order to terminate the case. The Court again

notes that this ruling is without prejudice to Sheikh filing an amended complaint under the

APA. Upon the filing of an complaint, the Court will direct that the matter be reopened and

shall set the matter down for a case management conference.
