2:30 pm - 3:30 pm ESTThis session covers the petitioner-side opening hour of an immigration habeas case: choosing an admission route, getting same-day ECF access, verifying under § 2242, coding NOS 463 with each district’s add-ons, serving the government, and redacting exhibits for a public docket. The audience is removal-defense lawyers who have never opened a civil case in CM/ECF, and the anchor is Ico-Choc, where a petition filed without admission was dismissed after seven weeks.
Caridad Pastor 3:40 pm - 4:40 pm ESTThis session teaches immigration habeas practitioners, from the petitioner’s side, how to run the first 14 days of a detained client’s § 2241 case under district general orders. The hour covers calendaring from the docketed notice in C.D. Cal. and W.D. Wash., the magistrate-judge consent decision, the choice among the standard schedule, a joint motion to expedite and a TRO, and the reply, transfer and superseded-order traps. The audience is immigration lawyers new to district court.
