HabeasCivil Procedure
In one sentence

In Guodoy Arana v. Decker, Judge Swain ordered petitioner’s counsel to respond on whether detention warranted a new bond hearing.

Who this affects

The petitioner and the petitioner’s counsel, who was directed to file a response, as well as the Government’s position concerning detention and a possible new bond hearing.

What happened

In Guodoy Arana v. Decker, the court received the Government’s supplemental filing about whether a recent Second Circuit decision applied to the petitioner’s pending detention challenge.

The court directed the petitioner’s counsel to respond to the Government’s position that the detention had not lasted long enough to justify a new bond hearing with a shifted burden. The response was due November 10, 2020.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain issued this procedural order and did not decide whether the recent decision applied or whether a new bond hearing was required.
