AUSTIN DIVISION
IN RE: REVIEW OF RELEASE ORDERS §
IN 8 U.S.C. § 1326 CASES §
§
STANDING ORDER REGARDING THIS COURT’S REVIEW OF RELEASE ORDERS
UNDER 18 U.S.C. § 3145(a) FOR DEFENDANTS CHARGED UNDER 8 U.S.C. § 1326
This Order governs the procedure for the United States to move for this Court’s review,
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3145(a), of an order of a United States Magistrate Judge ordering the release
of a defendant charged under 8 U.S.C. § 1326, when the magistrate judge has granted a stay of the
defendant’s release.
In order to abide by the statutory requirement in 18 U.S.C. § 3145(a) for the Court to
“determine[] promptly” motions filed under this statute, IT IS ORDERED that, upon the United
States’s oral motion for the magistrate judge to stay a defendant’s release, the United States shall
simultaneously orally move for this Court to review the magistrate judge’s release order. An oral
motion of this type will be considered as properly “fil[ing]” the motion under 18 U.S.C. § 3145.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, upon the United States’s motion under 18 U.S.C.
§ 3145(a), the Clerk of Court shall—on that same day—notify the chambers of this Court of the
motion.
SIGNED on October 31, 2025.
