Rejection Notice, re: Request for Custody Redetermination Hearing (2008-02-14)
Synopsis
On 2008-02-11, I submitted a request to the Immigration Court to schedule a custody redetermination (bond) hearing.
This is the response I received from the clerk, refusing to process the request. She reason she provided was no certificate of service was included with the request, as required by 8 CFR § 1003.32(a).
However, service on opposing counsel is only required for material submitted to the judge, not to the clerk. And a request to schedule an appearance would be handled by the clerk, not the judge. Therefore, I was not required to serve a copy to DHS.
Even though the clerk returned the request form to me, claiming it would not be processed, it still ended up in the court file. Weird, huh?
