MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 2/9/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 8 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order. In that Motion, Petitioner states she was detained on 8/2/2025, over six months before filing that Motion. Petitioner does not explain why he did not seek injunctive relief sooner. Notably, Local Rule 231(b) states: "In considering a motion for a temporary restraining order, the Court will consider whether the applicant could have sought relief by motion for preliminary injunction at an earlier date without the necessity for seeking last-minute relief by motion for temporary restraining order." Because Petitioner's 8 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is untimely, the court will convert that motion to a 8 Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Further, the court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by Count One of the 1 petition. See e.g., Selis Tinoco v. Noem, 1:25-cv-01762-DC-JDP, 2025 WL 3567862 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025), Labrador-Prato v. Noem, 1:25-cv-01598-DC-SCR, 2025 WL 3458802 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2025), and D.L.C. v. Wofford, 1:25-cv-01996-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 8 motion for preliminary injunction by 2/16/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders listed above. Petitioner may file a Reply by 3/2/2026. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary.
