No. CV 09-0029-PHX-MHM (ECV)

ORDER

Petitioner Javad Sarabi (A28-805-927), who is confined in the Eloy Detention Center

in Eloy, Arizona, has filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241. The filing fee has been paid. The Court will require Respondent to answer the

Petition.

I. Petition

Petitioner alleges that immigration officials are holding him in detention pending his

removal to Iran. Petitioner argues that he is entitled to release from custody because his

detention with no prospect that his removal will be effected in the reasonably foreseeable

future is not authorized by law. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001) (when there is

no reasonable likelihood that a foreign government will accept an alien’s return in the

reasonably foreseeable future, the INS may not detain the alien for more than the

presumptively reasonable period of six months); Clark v. Martinez, 543 U.S. 371 (2005)

(extending the holding in Zadvydas to inadmissible aliens). The Court will require

Respondent to answer the Petition.
