Maestre-Jimenez v. Baltazar

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Colorado denied Yurieth Lucia Maestre-Jimenez’s motion for reconsideration of an order granting habeas relief and requiring an immigration bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). The court held that Petitioner had not shown an intervening change in law, newly available evidence, clear error, or manifest injustice warranting immediate release instead of a bond hearing.

Holdings

1. Reconsideration was not warranted because Petitioner did not demonstrate an intervening change in controlling law, newly available evidence, clear error, or manifest injustice.
2. The prior order requiring a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), rather than immediate release, was not clear error and did not result in manifest injustice.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Petitioner established grounds under Rule 54(b) for reconsideration of the prior interlocutory order.
2. Whether the Court clearly erred or caused manifest injustice by ordering a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) rather than ordering Petitioner's immediate release from immigration detention.
