1 [T]he default rule [for claims under 28 U.S.C. § 2241] is that the proper respondent is the warden of the
facility where the prisoner is being held, not the Attorney General or some other remote supervisory
official.” Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 435 (2004) (citations omitted). The Clerk’s office is
DIRECTED to change the docket to reflect the Warden of Stewart Detention Center as the sole
appropriately named respondent in this action.
