Case No. 1:26-cv-1607
Honorable Paul L. Maloney
ORDER
This is a habeas corpus action brought by an individual detained by the United States
Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the North Lake Processing Center in Baldwin, Lake
County, Michigan. Petitioner did not sign her § 2241 petition. Therefore, on May 27, 2026, the
Court entered an order directing Plaintiff to sign and return a signature page within twenty-one
(21) days. (ECF No. 4.) The Court warned Petitioner that if she failed to comply this action would
be dismissed without prejudice.
More than 21 days have elapsed. Petitioner did not submit the signed signature page.
Because Petitioner has failed to comply, dismissal of this action without prejudice for want of
prosecution is appropriate. Therefore, the Court will issue a judgment dismissing the action
without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: 	June 24, 2026 	/s/ Paul L. Maloney
