UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
OLGA ZVORYGINA,
Petitioner,
v.
WARDEN OTAY MESA DETENTION
CENTER, et al.
Respondents.
Case No.: 26-CV-980 JLS (DEB)
ORDER DIRECTING COUNSEL
FOR PETITIONER TO FILE AN
AMENDED PETITION
(ECF No. 1)
Presently before the Court is Olga Zvorygina’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (“Pet.,” ECF No. 1). 	As the Court has noted before to
Petitioner’s counsel, the Petition was filed using the Southern District’s pro se habeas
petition form despite Petitioner having representation in this matter. 	See generally Pet.;
see also Ogannisian Geros v. Warden of Otay Mesa Detention Center, 26-CV-91 JLS
(AHG), ECF Nos. 2, 5; Anton Vinogradov v. Warden of Otay Mesa Detention Center, 26-
CV-497 JLS (SBC), ECF No. 2. The Court cautions Petitioner’s counsel that its patience
is growing thin, and any amended petition must provide sufficient factual details for the
Court to meaningfully consider Petitioner’s requests for relief. If Petitioner’s Counsel
continues this pattern, the Court will consider sanctions.

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Petitioner’s counsel to file an amended petition1
within thirty (30) days of entry of this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: February 17, 2026
1 The Court also notes that a petition for writ of habeas corpus must name the warden of the facility where
the petitioner is detained as respondent, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2243. A failure to do so means the
Court lacks jurisdiction over the petition. See Mukhamadiev v. U.S. Dep’t of Homeland Security, No. 25-
cv-1017-DMS-MSB, 2025 WL1208913, at *3 (S.D. Cal. Apr. 25, 2025).
