® DAVID S. LEIBOWITZ UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE ce: counsel of record ' Other courts that have granted habeas corpus petitions on this precise issue have given much less time to provide the petitioner a bond hearing. See, ag, Perez, No. 25-24820-CV, ECF No. 9 at 11 (two days); Gonzalez, 2025 WL 3145764, at *10 (three days); Lopex-Campos, 2025 WL 2496379, at *10 (seven days); Gomes, 2025 WL 1869299, at *9 (ten days). However, consistent with Petitioner’s request for a bond hearing within seven days of this Court’s Order [ECF No. 1 at 9], the Court will give Respondent seven days to comply.
