On June 30, 2009, the magistrate, in her citizen capacity, filed a petition seeking amparo relief with the SCJ in which she alleged that “the residence of Mr. José Manuel Zelaya Rosales had been entered illegally, whereupon he was apprehended and sent into forced exile in the city of San José, Costa Rica” on June 28. The petition identified the Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces as the authority responsible for these actions. The petition sought, “as an urgent precautionary measure, the immediate repatriation of the citizen President.”133 By a decision of that same date, the Constitutional Chamber of the SCJ joined that petition with similar petitions filed by six other persons (among them, Judge Adán Guillermo López Lone) and granted cert for an examination of the merits. In that same ruling, the Supreme Court ordered the Head of the Joint Chiefs to submit a report within five days.134 82.
