SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
ALVARO MATIAS GROSSO,
Petitioner,
v.
WARDEN, OTAY MESA DETENTION
CENTER, et al.,
Respondents.
Case No. 26-cv-01575-BAS-BLM
ORDER SUMMARILY DISMISSING
PETITION (ECF No. 1)
Petitioner Alvaro Matias Grosso filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1.) Upon review, the Court notes that Petitioner has filed
two prior Section 2241 petitions in this District in the past several months. First, in Case
No. 25-cv-03593-JES-BLM, the Honorable James E. Simmons, Jr., denied the petition
without prejudice. In that case, Petitioner has a pending motion for reconsideration.
Second, 	in 	Case 	No. 	26-cv-00396-CAB-MMP, 	the 	Honorable 	Cathy 	Ann
Bencivengo ordered a bond hearing. Most recently, on March 5, 2026, Judge Bencivengo

bond determination before appealing to the BIA. This short cut was improper. [Petitioner]
should have exhausted administrative remedies by appealing to the BIA before asking the
federal district court to review the IJ’s decision.’” ECF No. 9 in Case No. 26-cv-00396-
CAB-MMP.
A habeas petition is subject to summary dismissal when it is repetitive or duplicative.
See, e.g., Salas v. Att’y Gen., No. 2:23-cv-01118-TL-TLF, 2023 WL 5826738, at *2 (W.D.
Wash. Aug. 21, 2023). The Petition here provides no new information or grounds for relief
that were not raised in the prior petitions. Therefore, the Court DISMISSES WITHOUT
PREJUDICE the Petition.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: March 16, 2026
