MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 2/13/2026: On 1/23/2026, petitioner, proceeding pro se, filed a 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus. On 1/30/2026, pursuant to Magistrate Judge Peterson's 4, 9 orders, Attorney Torres Stallings was appointed as petitioner's counsel. On 2/12/2026, petitioner filed a 13 motion for temporary restraining order. Pro se filings by a represented party are improper. See Riel v. Warden, San Quentin State Prison, No. 2:01-cv-0507-MCE-DB, 2023 WL 2413825, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 8, 2023); United States v. Brayshaw, No. 2:14-mc-00088-MCE-KJN, 2018 WL 534120, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 23, 2018) (noting that under Rule 11, a party "cannot both be represented and file her own motions"). Therefore, the court denies the 13 motion for a temporary restraining order without prejudice to a properly filed motion. (Deputy Clerk PAB) (Entered: 02/13/2026)
