Petitioner,

v.

Case No. 1:23-cv-00922-SAB-HC
ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO
FILE COPY OF PETITIONER’S
PURPORTED FINAL ORDER OF
REMOVAL

WARDEN, F.C.I. MENDOTA,

14

Respondent.

16

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

17

18 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 that challenges a Federal Bureau of Prisons’ policy that excludes
19 inmates with immigration detainers, such as Petitioner, from applying their First Step Act
20 (“FSA”) Earned Time Credits (“ETCs”). (ECF No. 1.)
Respondent has moved to dismiss the petition, arguing, among other grounds, that

21

22 “Petitioner is jurisdictionally and statutorily barred from FSA ETC sentence-offsets due to the
1
23 final order of removal from another federal court.” (ECF No. 9 at 3. ) Respondent has attached a

24 copy of the Department of Homeland Security Immigration Detainer – Notice of Action that
25 shows a “final order of removal” has been issued against Petitioner. (ECF No. 9-1 at 10.)
26 However, Respondent has not provided the Court with a copy of the final order of removal itself.
