DOCKET TEXT ORDER. In 16 Response to Petition for Habeas Corpus and Declaratory Action and Emergency Motion for TRO, the Government represents that Petitioner is no longer subject to a detainer lodged by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and that he is now held in state custody pursuant to an order of detention issued by the state court in connection with pending state charges. Petitioner does not dispute these representations. See 18 Reply to Respondents' Response to Petitioner's Verified Petition for Habeas Corpus and Declaratory Action. Whether or not the Petition remains justiciable, the court concludes that, in light of these developments, Petitioner cannot show that "he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief," as is required to obtain a temporary restraining order. Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008); see also Stuber v. Lucky's Auto Credit, LLC, 478 F. Supp. 3d 1205, 1208 (D. Utah 2020). 2 Emergency Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is accordingly DENIED. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Howard C. Nielson, Jr., on 02/11/2026. No attached document.
