ORDER. Respondents are directed to file an answer to the petition for a writ of habeas corpus of petitioner by no later than January 29, 2026, certifying the true cause and proper duration of petitioner's confinement and showing cause why the writ should not be granted in this case. If petitioner intends to file a reply to respondents' answer, he must do so by no later than January 31, 2026. 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. If petitioner has already been removed from Minnesota, respondents are ORDERED to immediately return petitioner to Minnesota. See Order for details. Signed by Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz on 1/26/2026. (CJS) (Entered: 01/26/2026)
