IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
LAURO VICENTE MARCA LEMA,
Petitioner,
v. No. 2:26-cv-01339-KG-JMR
MARY DE ANDA-YBARRA, et al.,
Respondents.
ORDER TO ANSWER
Petitioner Lauro Vicente Marca Lema filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28
U.S.C. § 2241 on May 1, 2026. Doc. 2. The Clerk of Court provided notice of completion of
electronic service on May 1, 2026. Doc. 3. Petitioner requests that the Court issue an order
directing Respondents to Show Cause why the petition should not be granted, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 2243. Doc. 2.
Having reviewed the Petition, the Court concludes that the claims must be resolved on a full
record, including an answer from Respondents. Therefore, Petitioner’s request that the Court issue
an order to show cause is denied. See Teran v. Bondi, 2025 WL 3158150, at *2 (D.N.M.) (“Habeas
Rule 4 grants a district judge discretion to set a time for respondents to answer or otherwise respond
to the habeas petition.”). The Court orders Respondents to file an answer within 10 business days
of entry of this Order. Petitioner may file an optional reply within 7 days after the answer is filed.
The Clerk shall send a courtesy copy of this Order and the Petition to the U.S. Attorney’s Office at
the following email address: USANM.Civil.Immigration@usdoj.gov.
