Disposition notice

The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted Weiguo Lei's petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and ordered his release from ICE custody forthwith on reasonable terms and conditions of supervision pending removal proceedings. The court accepted the Report and Recommendation to Grant Petition after the deadline for objections passed with none filed, and therefore did not review the findings de novo under Thomas v. Arn and United States v. Reyna-Tapia. Judgment will be entered accordingly.
