No. CV07-2278-PHX-SRB

ORDER

Petitioner filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241

on November 21, 2007 claiming that his lenghty detention while his removal proceedings

have been pending is unconstitutional. Respondent filed her answer to Petitioner's Petition

for Writ of Habeas Corpus on February 7, 2008. Petitioner did not file a reply. On October

6, 2008, the Magistrate Judge ordered Respondent to show cause why the Petition should not

be granted unless Petitioner received a bail hearing before an Immigration Judge in light of

Casas-Castrillon v. DHS, 535 F.3d 942 (9th Cir. 2008). Respondent filed her response on

October 8, 2008. On November 12, 2008, the Magistrate Judge issued his Report and

Recommendation recommending that the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be granted and

Petitioner be released unless Respondent provides a bail hearing within 60 days before an

Immigration Judge with power to grant Petitioner bail.

In his Report and Recommendation the Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they

had 10 days from the date of service of a copy of the Report and Recommendation within

which to file specific written objections with the Court. The time to file such objections has

since expired and no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.

The Court finds itself in agreement with the Report and Recommendation of the

Magistrate Judge.

IT IS ORDERED adopting the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge

as the order of this Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is granted

as follows. Respondent is to release Petitioner unless, within 60 days of the date of this

order, Respondent provides a hearing to Petitioner before an Immigration Judge with the

power to grant him bail and either bail is granted or Respondent establishes at the bail

hearing that Petitioner is a flight risk or will be a danger to the community.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk to enter judgment accordingly.

DATED this 9th day of December, 2008.
