IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
ALAN FRAGUA,
Plaintiff,
v.

CV 16-1404 RB/WPL

AL CASAMENTO, Director,
Sandoval County Detention Center,
Defendant.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
On March 30, 2017, I entered an Order directing Defendant Al Casamento to produce
additional information in support of his response to Alan Fragua’s Petition for Writ of Habeas
Corpus. (Doc. 8.) Casamento was directed to produce this information no later than 5:00 p.m. on
April 7, 2017. (Id.) Casamento did not produce the information as ordered.
Casamento is hereby ordered to show cause, in writing, why he failed to produce the
ordered information and why Fragua’s petition should not be granted. Included in his response to
his Order, Casamento will either produce the previously ordered information or will provide a
detailed explanation as to why that information cannot be produced. Casamento will file his
response to this Order no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 21, 2017.
Casamento is specifically put on notice that failure to timely respond to this Order will
result in a recommendation to Judge Brack that Fragua’s petition be granted immediately and
that Fragua be released. Such a failure may also result in an order to show cause why Casamento
and counsel should not be sanctioned for failing to comply with Court orders.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
