CV F 05-0187 AWI DLB HC

ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO

SUBMIT ANSWER ADDRESSING MERITS

OF PETITION

ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Petitioner is proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

2241. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72-302. 

Writ of habeas corpus relief extends to a person in custody under the authority of the

United States. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241. In the instant petition, Petitioner challenges the deportation

order reinstating his prior removal order pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(5). Petitioner contends

that he is entitled to full an fair hearing to challenge the prior removal order. Because Petitioner

may be entitled to relief if the claimed violations are proved, Respondent is ordered to file an

answer addressing the merits of the petition for writ of habeas corpus.

those brought under § 2254 at the Court’s discretion. See, Rule 1 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. Civil

practice in such proceedings is not set forth in statutes of the United States and has heretofore conformed to the

practice of civil actions.” Fed. R. Civ. P 81(a)(2). 

2Counsel for the “Institution” means private Counsel representing contracted facilities such as Taft

Correctional Institution, (Wackenhut Corrections Corporation), or California City Correctional Center (Corrections

Corporation of America).
