MIGUEL ANGEL HIPOLITO 

CASTANEDA,

Petitioner,

v.

TIMOTHY AITKEN, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No. 15-cv-01635-MEJ 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Petitioner Miguel Angel Hipolito Castaneda has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner is in Respondents’ custody pursuant to an order by an 

Immigration Law Judge denying him release on bond. Petitioner seeks habeas relief from this 

Court and alleges that his bond hearing lacked adequate procedural protections, violated his Fifth

Amendment right to procedural due process, and that his continued detention violates his Fifth

Amendment right to substantive due process. Liberally construed, the claims appear potentially

colorable under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and merit an answer from Respondents.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

(1) The Clerk of Court shall serve a copy of the petition and this order upon Respondents and 

the Attorney General of the State of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254, Rule 4. 

(2) Respondents shall then file and serve an answer in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2254, Rule 

5 and Habeas Corpus Local Rule 2254-6. Respondents shall file with the answer and serve 

on Petitioner a copy of all portions of the underlying state criminal record that were 

previously transcribed and are relevant to the issues presented by the petition.

(3) Petitioner may serve and file a traverse responding to matters raised in the answer in 

accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2254, Rule 5 and Habeas Corpus Local Rule 2254-6.

(4) Respondents may file a motion to dismiss on procedural grounds in lieu of an answer, as 

set forth in the Advisory Committee Notes to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 

Cases within 60 days of the date this order is filed. If such a motion is filed, Petitioner 

shall file with the Court and serve on Respondents an opposition or statement of nonopposition within 28 days of the date the motion is filed, and Respondents shall file with 

the Court and serve on Petitioner a reply within 14 days of the date any opposition is filed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
