The Story So Far
Judge Jinsook Ohta issued a minute order on May 7, 2026, modifying the standard procedures for immigration habeas petitions under Chief Judge Order No. 144. The court shortened the deadline for any optional reply from petitioners to three days after the government files its opposition.
This change accelerates the briefing schedule compared to the usual timeline.
The order schedules a hearing on the petition for May 28, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 4C. The court allows all parties to appear by videoconference.
The courtroom deputy will distribute videoconference details before the hearing. The court will hold the hearing unless it issues a written decision on the merits before that date.
Parties must check the docket by 5:00 p.m. the day before the hearing for any updates or changes. The order reflects the court’s intent to manage the case efficiently while accommodating remote participation amid ongoing immigration habeas litigation.
The docket number is 144. The court’s identity and the petition’s filing date remain undisclosed. The order signals a firm timeline for resolving the petition, emphasizing prompt briefing and a scheduled oral argument.
The hearing will likely clarify the court’s position on the petition or set the stage for a ruling.
This case remains active. The next significant event is the May 28 hearing, which will determine whether the court proceeds with oral argument or issues a decision in advance.
