UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHNNY MIKE TORRES,

Petitioner,

v.

LORETTA E. LYNCH, 

Respondent.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01038-EPG-HC

ORDER FOR SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

Petitioner is a federal immigration detainee proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Therein, Petitioner challenges his “unlawful 

indefinite detention.” (ECF No. 1 at 3).1

On August 29, 2016, Respondent filed a response to the petition, arguing that the instant 

case is related to Torres v. DHS/ICE, Case No. 1:15-cv-01841-SAB, because both lawsuits 

involve the same parties, the same facts, and the same requested relief. (ECF No. 8). The petition 

in the previous case was dismissed, and Respondent argues that the instant petition similarly 

should be dismissed. (Id. at 2). On September 8, 2016, Petitioner filed a reply. (ECF No. 9).

Petitioner argues that “the 2015 case was in a different time, under different circumstances” and 

cites to Rodriguez v. Robbins (Rodriguez III), 804 F.3d 1060 (9th Cir. 2015). The Court finds 

that supplemental briefing on Rodriguez III would assist the Court in this matter.

2. Petitioner may file a response to Respondent’s brief regarding Rodriguez III within 

THIRTY (30) days of the date of service of Respondent’s brief.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
