UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
DEEPENDRA BAHADUR CHHETRI,
Petitioner,
v.
WARDEN OF IMPERIAL REGIONAL
DETENTION FACILITY, et al.,
Respondents.
Case No.: 3:26-cv-1589-CAB-DEB
ORDER DISMISSING PETITION
WITH LEAVE TO AMEND
Petitioner Deependra Bahadur Chhetri has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 2241. 	[Doc. No. 1 (“Petition”).] 	Petitioner alleges that he is
unlawfully detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) at the Imperial
Regional Detention Facility. [Id. at 2.]
The Court DISMISSES the Petition with leave to amend because the Petition is
missing crucial information for the Court to evaluate whether a response is warranted. See
Kourteva v. I.N.S., 151 F. Supp. 2d 1126, 1128 (N.D. Cal. 2001) (“Summary dismissal is
appropriate only where the allegations in the petition are vague or conclusory, palpably
incredible, or patently frivolous or false.”) For example, Petitioner alleges that “Petitioner
entered the United States though at or near Calexico, California without inspection,”
[Petition at 10], but does not provide a date for this entrance or any specific details of his

subsequent release or most recent detention leading to this Petition. 	Further, Petitioner
alleges both that he received a custody redetermination hearing before an immigration
judge 	and 	was 	denied 	bond, 	and 	that 	immigration 	judges 	are 	denying 	custody
redetermination hearings based on lack of jurisdiction. [Id. at 11.]
If Petitioner wishes to proceed with this case, he must file a First Amended Petition
within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order. 	The First Amended Petition must be
complete in itself without reference to the original Petition. Respondents not named and
any claim not re-alleged will be considered waived. See CivLR 15.1(a).
It is SO ORDERED.
