DANIEL RAMIREZ MEDINA,

Petitioner,
ORDER DIRECTING RESPONSE TO
OBJECTIONS AND DECLINING ORAL
ARGUMENT

10

v.

12

Case No. C17-0218RSM

U.S. DEPARTMENT OD HOMELAND
SECURITY, et al.,

13

Respondents.

14
15

This matter comes before the Court on Petitioner’s Objections to U.S. Magistrate Judge

16

James Donohue’s Report and Recommendation (R&R) to this Court, which was issued on

17

March 14, 2017. Dkts. #64 and #66. Petitioner objects to the R&R to the extent that it

18

recommends this Court deny Petitioner’s Motion for Conditional Release. Id. Petitioner
19
20

further notes that the directive in the R&R that he note any Objections for the third Friday after

21

they are filed conflicts with Local Civil Rule 72(a), which states that Objections to R&Rs on

22

non-dispositive motions should be noted for the same day. Id. Finally, Petitioner requests that

23

this Court review his Objections on an expedited schedule and hold a hearing on his Objections

24

no later than Monday, March 20, 2017. Id.

Having reviewed Petitioner’s Objections and the remainder of this record, the Court
hereby ORDERS:

Case 2:17-cv-00218-RSM Document 67 Filed 03/17/17 Page 2 of 2

1. The Court SHALL RE-NOTE Petitioner’s Objections for consideration on the same
day they were filed (3/16/2017) pursuant to Local Civil Rule 72(a).

2
3

2. Respondents SHALL file a Response to those Objections no later than Tuesday,

4

March 21, 2017. Such Response shall be limited to eight (8) pages in length. No

5

Reply shall be filed by Petitioner.

3. It is not the Court’s typical practice to hold oral argument on Objections to R&Rs,

8

and the Court is not persuaded that it should do so in this matter. Accordingly, the

9

Court declines Petitioner’s request for any in-court hearing on his Objections, and

10

the Court will consider the Objections and any Response on the briefs in due course.

11

4. Any Objections to the R&R regarding Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss remain due
12
13

no later than March 28, 2017, and shall continue to be noted for consideration for

14

the third Friday after filing.

15

DATED this 17th day of March 2017.
