20 Petitioner Jorge Eduardo Cristobal Amezcua, an immigration detainee proceeding
21 pro se, has filed a third petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.
22 [Doc. No. 1 (“Third Petition”).] On March 2, 2026, Petitioner filed his first habeas petition
23 in a separate case. [Case No. 3:26-cv-1340-CAB-DDL (“Amezcua I”), Doc. No. 1
24 (“Petition”).] Before the Court ruled on the Petition, an immigration judge (“IJ”) granted
25 Petitioner voluntary return to Mexico by June 1, 2026 with release from detention within
26 five business days of the order and payment of a bond. [Id.] Instead of voluntarily
27 returning to Mexico, however, Petitioner appealed the IJ’s order to the Board of
28 Immigration Appeals (“BIA”). [Amezcua I, Doc. No. 14.]
l On May 20, 2026, Petitioner filed a second petition for a writ of habeas corpus
2 || pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, [Amezcua I, Doc. No. 15 (“Second Petition”).] The Court
3 denied his Second Petition because of his pending appeal with the BIA. [Amezcua I, Doc.
4 16.]
5 On June 18, 2026, Petitioner filed his Third Petition. A habeas petition is subject to
6 ||summary dismissal when it is repetitive or duplicative. See, e.g., Salas v. Att’y Gen., No.
7 2:23-cv-01118-TL-TLF, 2023 WL 5826738, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Aug. 21, 2023). Here, the
8 || Third Petition provides no new information or grounds for relief that were not raised in the
9 || two prior petitions before this Court. Therefore, the Court DISMISSES the Third Petition
10 ||and advises Petitioner that future petitions that do not demonstrate materially changed
11 circumstances, such as the resolution of his appeal to the BIA, will be similarly dismissed.
12 The Clerk of the Court shall close the case.
13 It is SO ORDERED.
