5 6 7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 8 WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT TACOMA 9 10 BRAYAN ANTHONY RIVERO, CASE NO. 2:25-cv-00593-LK-GJL 11 Petitioner, v. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 12 BRUCE SCOTT, Noting Date: July 30, 2025 13 Respondent. 14

15 The District Court has referred this federal habeas action to United States Magistrate 16 Judge Grady J. Leupold. On March 28, 2025, Petitioner Brayan Anthony Rivero, proceeding pro 17 se, initiated this action by filing a proposed Petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 18 U.S.C. § 2241, alleging his prolonged detention without a bond hearing violates the Due Process 19 Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Dkt. 1. At the time of filing, 20 Petitioner did not pay the $5.00 filing fee or apply to proceed In Forma Pauperis (“IFP”). On 21 April 3, 2025, the Clerk of Court notified Petitioner of his filing deficiencies and informed him 22 that failure to pay the filing fee or submit a completed IFP Application by May 5, 2025, could 23 result in dismissal of his action. Dkt. 2. 24 1 On April 7, 2025, interested party United States of America (“USA”)1 filed a Notice of 2 Change in Custody Status (“Notice”) informing the Court that Petitioner was removed from the 3 United States on April 4, 2025. Dkt. 3. However, because interested party USA did not indicate 4 Petitioner’s country of removal (see id.), and Petitioner did not include his country of origin or

5 citizenship in his proposed Petition (see Dkt. 1), the Court issued an Order requesting that 6 interested party USA furnish a further update as to Petitioner’s status (Dkt. 7). Interested party 7 USA filed a response to the Court’s Order on May 13, 2025, informing the Court that Petitioner 8 is a native and citizen of Venezuela and was removed to Venezuela on April 4, 2025. See Dkt. 8; 9 Dkt. 8-1. 10 On May 12, 2025, the Order directing counsel to enter an appearance on behalf of 11 interested party USA was returned as undeliverable to Petitioner. See Dkt. 9. Further, on May 16, 12 2025, the Order for a supplemental notice was returned as undeliverable to Petitioner. See Dkt. 13 10. Since that time, Petitioner has failed to update his address with the Court. See Dkt. 14 Petitioner has not responded to the Clerk’s letter, and has neither paid the filing fee nor

15 submitted an IFP Application. As such, the Court recommends this case be DISMISSED 16 without prejudice. Further, as Plaintiff has not prosecuted this case, the Court finds an appeal 17 would not be taken in good faith. 18 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the parties 19 shall have fourteen (14) days from service of this report to file written objections. See also Fed. 20 R. Civ. P. 6. Failure to file objections will result in a waiver of those objections for purposes of 21 appeal. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 142 (1985); Miranda v. Anchondo, 684 F.3d 844, 848 22 23 1 On April 30, 2025, the Court entered an Order directing counsel to enter an appearance on behalf of the USA on or 24 before May 2, 2025. Dkt. 5. Counsel entered their appearance on May 1, 2025. See Dkt. 6. 1 (9th Cir. 2012) (citations omitted). Accommodating the time limit imposed by Rule 72(b), the 2 Clerk is directed to set the matter for consideration on July 30, 2025, as noted in the caption. 3 4 Dated this 15th day of July, 2025.
