Jaime Gabriel Morales Reyes v. Pam Bondi, Attorney General of the United States, et al.

Opinion

JAIME GABRIEL MORALES REYES, Case No. 26-cv-00528-BAS

Petitioner, ORDER DENYING PETITION v. WITHOUT PREJUDICE PAM BONDI, Attorney General of the United States, et al., Respondents.

Presently before the Court are a Petition and Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Prosequendum filed on January 27, 2026. (ECF Nos. 1–2.) The Petition alleges Petitioner was arrested on January 27, 2026, and has not been presented for an initial appearance in violation of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5. Petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum directing Respondents to immediately present Petitioner to a magistrate judge for arraignment. Upon review, the Petition and Application do not demonstrate that Petitioner is entitled to relief. Cf. United States v. Pimental, 755 F.3d 1095, 1103–04 (9th Cir. 2014) (finding a four-day delay in presentment over a holiday weekend was unreasonable and unnecessary). Accordingly, the Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the Petition Application. (ECF Nos. 1-2.) In the event that Petitioner is not arraigned by January 2026, Petitioner may renew the Petition and Application. Further, the Clerk of Court shall serve this Order on the U.S. Attorney’s Office and close the case. ~ DATED: January 28, 2026 (yatta Bahar □□ Hon.
