The Court is in receipt of Petitioner Mahesh Kumar Pathak’s petition for writ of

Respondents “to show cause why the writ should not be granted.” 28 U.S.C. § 2243. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court shall serve by certified mail a copy of this order upon

Respondents’ counsel, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California. 

This case has been designated for electronic filing, and Respondents’ counsel can therefore

access the petition via the Court’s electronic case filing (“ECF”) system.

2. On or before Monday, October 15, 2007, Respondents shall file and serve an

answer showing cause why this Court should not issue a writ of habeas corpus. In addition,

Respondents shall file with his answer a copy of all portions of the administrative record that

have been transcribed previously and that are relevant to a determination of the issues
