9 HABIB ABDULKARIM, Case No. 2:22-cv-01241-ART-NJK
10 Petitioner, Order Dismissing Petition v.
[11] CLARK COUNTY DETENTION 12 CENTER, et al.,
13 Respondents.
[14] In his original pro se 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for a writ of habeas
[15] corpus Habib Abdulkarim raised a claim of excessive bail. (ECF No. 4.) Because
[16] the claim appeared unexhausted, the court directed Abdulkarim to show cause
[17] and file such proof as he may have to demonstrate that he exhausted his claim.
[18] (ECF No. 3.) Instead, Abdulkarim filed an amended petition. (ECF No. 9.) The
[19] amended petition asserts that the state district court is violating his Sixth
[20] Amendment right to a speedy trial. He indicates on the face of the petition that
[21] he has not raised this claim in state court. Thus, he has not exhausted
[22] available state court remedies. See, e.g., Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court of
[23] Kentucky, 410 U.S. 484, 489-92 (1973) (holding that pretrial detainee in state
[24] custody must exhaust available state court remedies before seeking federal
[25] habeas review of the detainee’s constitutional claim); Arevalo v. Hennessy, 882
26 F.3d 763, 767 (9th Cir. 2018)(observing that pretrial detainee had properly
[27] ' exhausted his state court remedies before filing federal petition for a writ of 2 habeas corpus). Here it appears that from Abdulkarim’s amended petition that he and his ‘ counsel disagree about whether to pursue pretrial habeas relief in state court. (See ECF No. at 2-3.) The court is not inclined to consider Abdulkarim’s habeas 6 claim prior to giving the Nevada courts an opportunity to redress any violation of Abdulkarim’s constitutional right to a speedy trial. See Braden, 410 U.S. at 8 491 (observing that pretrial detainee seeking to enforce right to speedy trial had 9 exhausted state court remedies before seeking federal habeas relief). "0 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the petition is DISMISSED without " prejudice. "2 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is denied, as jurists of reason would not find the court’s dismissal of this action for failure to " state a cognizable claim to be debatable or incorrect. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court enter judgment accordingly and close this case.
