MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 2/05/2026: (Text Only Entry): The 2 motion for temporary restraining order is denied. In this habeas action under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, petitioner seeks immediate release based on her assertion that she has received constitutionally-deficient medical care while in civil immigration detention. She challenges the conditions of her confinement rather than, as required for a cognizable habeas claim, the underlying legal basis for that confinement. See Pinson v. Carvajal, 69 F.4th 1072 (9th Cir. 2023). Petitioner has therefore not met her burden, on the present motion, of showing that she is likely to succeed on the merits of her habeas claims. See Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7 (2008). This matter is referred to the assigned magistrate judge for the preparation of findings and recommendations on the petition or other appropriate action. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 02/05/2026)
