ORDER.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT respondents are ENJOINED from moving petitioner outside of Minnesota until further order of the Court, so that petitioner may consult with counsel while the Court is considering the petition, and so that there is no risk that removal of petitioner from Minnesota will deprive this Court of jurisdiction over the petition.
