ORDER

Respondent.
14
15
Petitioner Muhammed Nazmul Hasan (A200-610-307), who is confined in the
16
Florence Service Processing Center in Florence, Arizona, has filed a pro se Petition under
17
28 U.S.C. § 2241 for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a person in federal custody. The Court
18
will dismiss the Petition with leave to file an amended petition.

United States without being admitted or paroled and was taken into the custody of
22
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On June 21, 2011, an Immigration Judge
23
(IJ) denied his applications for asylum and for deferral of removal and ordered that he be
24
removed to Bangladesh. On November 30, 2011, the Board of Immigration Appeals
25
(BIA) dismissed his appeal. On December 9, 2011, he filed a petition for review with the
26
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On May 9, 2012, the Ninth Circuit
27
granted a stay of removal pending review. The Ninth Circuit recently granted his petition
28
JDDL
Petitioner is a native and citizen of Bangladesh. On June 24, 2010, he entered the
and remanded his case to the BIA for further administrative proceedings. M.N.H. v.
1
Holder, No. 11-73765, 2013 WL 2284920 (9th Cir. May 24, 2013) (unpublished
2
memorandum). Petitioner argues that he is entitled to release under Zadvydas v. Davis,
3
533 U.S. 678 (2001), because he has been detained for more than six months and his
4
removal to Bangladesh is not reasonably foreseeable. He seeks an order compelling
5
Respondent to grant him supervised release.
6
Petitioner is not eligible for relief under the rule announced in Zadvydas because it
7
does not apply to aliens, like Petitioner, against whom removal proceedings are still
8
pending. Following the entry of a final order of removal, an alien is subject to mandatory
9
detention during the 90-day removal period. 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(2). If he cannot be
10
removed within the 90-day removal period, the alien may be granted supervised release
11
or he may be further detained. 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(3). Under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(6), an
12
alien who is inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182 or removable under 8 U.S.C.
13
§§ 1227(a)(1)(c), (a)(2), or (a)(4), “may be detained beyond the removal period.” 8
14
U.S.C. § 1231(a)(6).
15
government will accept the alien’s return in the reasonably foreseeable future, the
16
government may not detain the alien for more than the presumptively reasonable period
17
of six months. Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 701. That rule has no application to Petitioner’s
18
case because administrative removal proceedings are still pending against him and he is
19
not detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1231. Because Petitioner has failed to identify any
20
cognizable claim for habeas corpus relief, his Petition will be dismissed with leave to file
21
an amended petition identifying a proper statutory or constitutional basis for his claim
22
that his current detention is unlawful.

Instructions for Filing a Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241
for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal Custody
in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona
1. Who May Use This Form. If you are detained in Arizona, you may use this form to
challenge your detention by federal immigration authorities or to challenge the execution of
your federal sentence by the United States Bureau of Prisons. You are asking for release or
earlier release on the grounds that your detention or future detention violates the United States
Constitution or other federal law. You should not use this form to challenge a state or federal
judgment of conviction or sentence. If you are challenging a conviction or sentence entered
against you by a state court, you should file a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for writ of habeas
corpus by a person in state custody. If you are challenging a judgment of conviction or sentence
entered by a federal court, you should file a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate sentence
in the federal court that entered the judgment. Any claim that may be brought or has already
been brought in a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 may not be brought using this form unless it
appears that the § 2255 motion is inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of your detention.
This form should not be used in death penalty cases. If you were sentenced to death, you are
entitled to the assistance of counsel and you should request the appointment of counsel.
2. The Form. Local Rule of Civil Procedure (LRCiv) 3.5(a) provides that habeas corpus
petitions must be filed on the court-approved form. The form must be typed or neatly
handwritten. All questions must be answered clearly and concisely in the appropriate space on
the form. If needed, you may attach additional pages. The form, however, must be completely
filled in to the extent applicable. You do not need to cite law. If you want to file a brief or
arguments, you must attach a separate memorandum.
3. Your Signature. You must tell the truth and sign the form. If you make a false statement of
a material fact, you may be prosecuted for perjury.
4. The Filing Fee. The filing fee for this action is $5.00. If you are unable to pay the filing fee,
you may request permission to proceed in forma pauperis by completing and signing the
Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis provided with the petition form. You must have an
official at the prison or jail complete the certificate at the bottom of the application form. If the
amount of money in your account exceeds $25.00, you must pay the $5.00 filing fee. LRCiv
3.5(b).
5. Original and Judge’s Copy. You must send an original plus one copy of your petition and
of any other document submitted to the Court. You must send one additional copy to the Court
if you wish to have a file-stamped copy of the document returned to you. All copies must be
identical to the original. Copies may be legibly handwritten.
6. Where to File. You should file your petition in the division where you are detained. See
LRCiv 5.1(a). If you are detained in Maricopa, Pinal, Yuma, La Paz, or Gila County, you
should file your petition in the Phoenix Division. If you are detained in Apache, Navajo,
Coconino, Mohave, or Yavapai County, you should file your petition in the Prescott Division.
Revised 3/9/07

If you are detained in Pima, Cochise, Santa Cruz, Graham, or Greenlee County, you should file
your petition in the Tucson Division. See LRCiv 5.1(b) and 77.1(a). Mail the original and one
copy of your petition with the $5.00 filing fee or the application to proceed in forma pauperis
to:
Phoenix & Prescott Divisions:
OR
U.S. District Court Clerk
U.S. Courthouse, Suite 130
401 West Washington Street, SPC 10

405 West Congress Street
Tucson, Arizona 85701-5010
7. Change of Address. You must immediately notify the Court and respondents in writing of
any change in your mailing address. Failure to notify the Court of any change in your mailing
address may result in the dismissal of your case.
8. Certificate of Service. You must provide the respondents with a copy of any document you
submit to the Court (except the initial petition and application to proceed in forma pauperis).
Each original document (except the initial petition and application to proceed in forma pauperis)
must include a certificate of service on the last page of the document stating the date a copy of
the document was mailed to the respondents and the address to that it was mailed. Fed. R. Civ.
P. 5(a), (d). Any document received by the Court which does not include a certificate of service
may be stricken. A certificate of service should be in the following form:
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was mailed
this
(month, day, year) to:
Name:
Address:
Attorney for Respondent(s)
(Signature)
9. Amended Petition. If you need to change any of the information in the initial petition, you
must file an amended petition. The amended petition must be written on the court-approved
petition for writ of habeas corpus form. You may file one amended petition without leave
(permission) of Court before any respondent has answered your original petition. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 15(a). After any respondent has filed an answer, you must file a motion for leave to
amend and lodge (submit) a proposed amended petition. LRCiv 15.1. An amended petition
may not incorporate by reference any part of your prior petition. LRCiv 15.1(a)(2). Any
grounds not included in the amended petition are considered dismissed.
10. Exhibits. If available, you should attach a copy of all federal court and administrative
written decisions regarding the detention you are challenging. You should not submit any other
exhibits with the petition. Instead, the relevant information should be paraphrased in the
petition.
2
11. Letters and Motions. It is generally inappropriate to write a letter to any judge or the staff
of any judge. The only appropriate way to communicate with the Court is by filing a written
pleading or motion.
12. Exhaustion. In order to proceed with this petition in federal court, you ordinarily must
exhaust any administrative remedies available to you. If you did not fairly present each of your
grounds to the appropriate administrative agencies, your petition may be dismissed.
FINAL NOTE
You should follow these instructions carefully. Failure to do so may result in your
petition being stricken or dismissed by the Court. All questions must be answered concisely in
the proper space on the form. If you need more space, you may attach additional pages. But
the form must be completely filled in to the extent applicable. If you attach additional pages,
be sure to identify which section of the petition is being continued and number all pages.
