17 Petitioner Erika Porras Castillo, by and through her counsel of record, Jose F. Vergara, and Respondents, by and through their counsel Eric Grant, United States Attorney, and Charles Campbell, Assistant United States Attorney, stipulate as follows: 20 1. On November 18, 2025, Petitioner filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus and a Motion 21 for a Temporary Restraining Order. Dkt. Nos. 1, 2.
22 2. On November 24, 2025, Respondents filed their opposition to the Motion for a Temporary 23 Restraining Order. Dkt. No. 11.
24 3. On December 2, 2025, this Court granted in part Petitioner’s request for a Temporary 25 Restraining Order. In granting this relief, the Court ordered the government to hold a parole 26 revocation hearing. Dkt. No. 13. Petitioner was released from custody shortly thereafter.
27 4. On January 6, 2026, this Court converted the Temporary Restraining Order into a 28 Preliminary Injunction. Dkt. No. 16. In that filing, this Court directed Respondents to file a 1 further brief on the merits of the habeas petition within 30 days. Dkt. No. 16.
2 5. This matter is in a similar factual and procedural posture as the pending Ninth Circuit appeal 3 in Rodriguez v. Bostock, 779 F.Supp.3d 1239 (W.D. Wash. 2025), Ninth Circuit docket no.
4 25-6842.
5 6. Because the issues in Rodriguez are likely to be dispositive of the issues in this case, the 6 parties ask that any further briefing deadlines in this case be held abeyance until the 7 resolution of the Rodriguez case.
8 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
