Opinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:12-CV-2579
03-08-2013
FRANKLYN FOSTER, Petitioner v. ERIC HOLDER, Attorney General of the United States, et al., Respondents
(Judge Conner)
ORDER
AND NOW, this 8th day of March, 2013, upon consideration of petitioner's most recent filing, entitled "Removal Proceeding," in which he seeks a reduction in the $10,000 bond amount that the Immigration Judge set at his Court ordered February 12, 2013 bond hearing, or, alternatively, release from detention, and because this Court's power to entertain habeas applications ensues solely from the narrowly-tailored mandate of 28 U.S.C. §2241, which, with respect to the claims raised by an alien awaiting removal, limits relief to a directive of a bond hearing, and because this Court has no authority to second-guess a substantive outcome of proceedings held by an immigration judge as the appellate review of immigration judges is vested in the Board of Immigration Appeals and the United States Courts of Appeals, Accord Diop v. ICE/Homeland Sec., 656 F.3d 221, (3d Cir. 2011)), it is hereby ORDERED that petitioner's request (Doc. 8) is DENIED.
