GUTIERREZ v. BONDI (2025)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Ernesto Labrador GUTIERREZ, Petitioner, v. Pamela BONDI, U.S. Attorney general, Respondent.

No. 25-60646

Decided: November 26, 2025

Before Smith, Haynes, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.

Joseph Krebs Muller, Law Office of Joseph Muller, Austin, TX, for Petitioner. Brooke Marie Maurer, Trial Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, Office of Immigration Litigation, Washington, DC, for Respondent.

PUBLISHED ORDER

The petition for stay of removal is DENIED. Equitable relief—even if it is “temporary” or “short”—is never a matter of right or convenience.^* See Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 433–34, 129 S.Ct. 1749, 173 L.Ed.2d 550 (2009).

FOOTNOTES

FOOTNOTE. Judge Haynes would grant a short temporary stay of removal to allow time to review this issue.
