NO. C07-5939 TEH 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

The Court is in receipt of Petitioner Gurmukh Kaur Singh’s petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Because it does not “appear[] from the application”

that Petitioner is not entitled to habeas relief, the Court hereby orders 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, January 7, 2008, 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 their 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

presented by the petition.
