ORDER re: #9 Amended Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus, filed by Jose Luis Ruiz Diaz. The Court has reviewed the Amended Petition, and finds that it is materially similar to Magistrate Judge Susan B. Prose's opinion in Merchan-Pacheo v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-03860-SBP, 2026 WL 88526, at *15 (D. Colo. Jan. 12, 2026), which this Court considers to be both thoughtful and persuasive. Consequently, on or before March 13, 2026, Respondents shall RESPOND to the Amended Petition and SHOW CAUSE why the Amended Petition shall not be granted based on the analysis in Merchan-Pacheco. Because the original petition now appears to be MOOT, Respondents need not address the arguments therein. SO ORDERED by Judge S. Kato Crews on 3/9/2026. Text Only Entry (skclc1)
