ECF No. 11. 19 Quassani is challenging his detention by the U.S. Marshals Service and Department of Homeland 20 Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 21 While reserving judgment as to the merits of Quassani’s amended petition, this court 22 concludes that the pleading adequately addresses the defects identified in the August 4, 2017, order, 23 and is therefore sufficient to warrant a response from the respondents. Thus, respondents will be 24 directed to show cause why the writ should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. 25 26 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve copies of the amended petition (ECF No. 11) and this order upon respondents as follows: 27 1. By having the United States Marshal promptly serve a copy of the amended petition and 28 this order on the United States Attorney for the District of Nevada or on an Assistant United States 1 Attorney or clerical employee designated by the United States Attorney pursuant to Rule 4(i)(1)(A) 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 3 2.
