Petitioner filed this second habeas case, again seeking to challenge his immigration 
custody. ECF No. 1. A habeas petition is subject to summary dismissal when it is repetitive 
or duplicative. See , e.g., Salas v. Att ’y Gen., No. 2:23-cv -01118-TL-TLF, 2 023 WL 
5826738, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Aug. 21, 2023). The Petition here provides no new grounds 
for relief that were not raised in the prior Petition. Therefore, the C ourt DISMISSES 
WITHOUT PREJUDICE the Petition. 
The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment dismissing this action without 
prejudice and shall close the case file. 
 IT IS SO ORDERED.
