ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 1

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR., District Judge.

A federal district court is authorized to grant a writ of habeas corpus when a petitioner is "in custody in violation of the Constitution or laws or treaties of the United States." 28 U.S.C. § 2241(c)(3).

Petitioner Dung Vu Tran, who is in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Dkt. No. 1. He alleges that he has been detained at the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center in Elk Grove, California for over 180 days. Petitioner alleges his continued detention violates his Fifth Amendment right to due process. See Dkt. No. 1 ¶ 9 (citing Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001)).

Petitioner names four individuals as Respondents: Acting San Francisco Field Office Director of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") Erik Bonnar; Acting Director of ICE Thomas D. Homan; DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen; and Sheriff of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department Scott Jones, who oversees the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center where Petitioner is detained.1 See Dkt. No. 1 ¶ 5.

Having considered the pleadings and documents in this matter, and good cause having been shown by Petitioner, the Court ORDERS Respondents to Show Cause:

1. By May 24, 2018, Respondents shall respond by answering the allegations and showing cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not issue, or by filing a motion to dismiss on procedural grounds;

2. Petitioner's traverse, opposition, or statement of non-opposition shall be filed by May 31, 2018; and

3. Any reply by Respondents shall be filed by June 7, 2018.

The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order, the petition, and all attachments thereto, on Respondents and shall serve copies of these documents to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
