ORDER
AND NOW, this 27th day of February 2026, after due consideration and in furtherance
of the continued sound management of the Court’s dockets and to continue to facilitate the just
determination of every proceeding, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 137(a), LCvR 40(F) and
Administrative Order 2025-24, and
Upon this Court’s finding that Administrative Order 2026-01, which provided for the
assignment of cases filed by individuals who are, or have been, detained at the Moshannon
Valley Processing Center, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detention Facility,
(“Moshannon”), arising out of, related to, or regarding said detention, is no longer adequate to
address the exceptional circumstances and unanticipated and emergency case assignment and
management issues set forth in that Order because individuals are now being detained at
locations other than Moshannon that are within the jurisdiction of this Court, or are being
released with conditions such as electronic or GPS monitoring within the jurisdiction of this
Court,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, effective retroactively to January 20, 2026, and
continuing until the end of the calendar year, any Prisoner Petition-Habeas Corpus Alien
Detainee case (Nature of Suit 463) filed in any division of this Court will be assigned in the
Case 2:24-mc-10001-CB Document 56 Filed 02/27/26 Page 2 of 2
same manner as Moshannon Cases have been and continue to be assigned pursuant to
Administrative Order 2026-01.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Administrative Order supplements
Administrative Order 2026-01, together with any subsequent orders amending, supplementing,
or superseding Administrative 2026-01.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
