ORDER

ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.

Pursuant to this court's order of August 4, 2017 (ECF No. 10), petitioner Quassani has filed an amended petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. ECF No. 11. Quassani is challenging his detention by the U.S. Marshals Service and Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

While reserving judgment as to the merits of Quassani's amended petition, this court concludes that the pleading adequately addresses the defects identified in the August 4, 2017, order, and is therefore sufficient to warrant a response from the respondents. Thus, respondents will be directed to show cause why the writ should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve copies of the amended petition (ECF No. 11) and this order upon respondents as follows:

1. By having the United States Marshal promptly serve a copy of the amended petition and this order on the United States Attorney for the District of Nevada or on an Assistant United States Attorney or clerical employee designated by the United States Attorney pursuant to Rule 4(i)(1)(A) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

2. By sending a copy of the amended petition and this order by registered or certified mail to the following: (1) the Attorney General of the United States, Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20530 and (2) the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondents shall file and serve an answer or other response to the amended petition (ECF No. 11) within twenty (20) days of the date that this order is entered, unless for good cause additional time is allowed.
