April 30, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 4 MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner Andry Africano Pulido's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. ECF No. #1 . In the Petition, Petitioner requests that the Court "[g]rant the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and order Respondents to immediately release Pulido from custody." Id. at 21. Having reviewed the Petition, the Court ORDERS Petitioner to, no later than two calendar days from the entry of this Order, (1) serve Respondents with copies of the Petition and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail and by overnight mail pursuant to the service requirements outlined in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(i); and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. Within five (5) calendar days of service, Respondents are ORDERED TO RESPOND to the Petition and are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the Petition should not be granted. See, e.g., Yassine v.

July 7, 2025) (explaining that while 2243 refers to a three day deadline, this requirement is "subordinate to the district court's authority to set deadlines" itself, and granting respondents a fourteen day deadline to respond in order to "give [r]espondents adequate time to brief the issues" (quotations omitted)). Further, pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. 1651(a), and in order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Respondents SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order.
