 As part of his appeal, and as recited in the Ninth Circuit's remand Order, in an "emergency

motion" filed January 16, 2007, Durrani had contended his pleading is more properly construed as

a Section 2241 petition because it purportedly does not challenge his federal conviction. The Ninth

Circuit ruled: "We disagree and deny the emergency motion." Order p. 2.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARIF DURRANI,

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 06CV1730-LAB (JMA)

ORDER FOLLOWING NINTH

CIRCUIT RULING VACATING

JUDGMENT; MANDATE

SCHEDULING ORDER 

vs.

S.A. HOLENCIK,

Respondent.

In a March 30, 2007 Order, the Ninth Circuit vacated the September 6, 2006

Judgment in this case on grounds this court should have construed petitioner Arif Durrani's

("Durrani") January 3, 2007 filing as a request to withdraw his Petition and should have

granted it. Durrani had belated filed the document in response to this court's

December 12, 2006 Case Status Order providing him with the notice required under Castro

v. United States, 540 U.S. 375, 382 (2003) of its intention to recharacterize his 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241 pleading as a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 Petition and setting a deadline of

December 29, 2006 for him to avoid that result through a request to withdraw his petition.

In vacating the Judgment and remanding, the Ninth Circuit instructs this court "to allow

appellant to withdraw his pleading." Order p. 2. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED the

court will spread the mandate in open court at noon on October 15, 2007 and will enter at

that time an Amended Judgment in conformity with the Ninth Circuit's instructions.1 No

appearances are required.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: September 27, 2007
