MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto on 2/4/2026: (Text Only Entry). The Court has reviewed petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Court has addressed the legal issues raised by the 1 petition on previous occasions. See e.g., J.S.H.M. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01309-JLT-SKO (HC) (E.D. Cal. Oct. 16, 2025); Ortiz Donis v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-CV-01228-JLT-SAB (HC), 2025 WL 32879514 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 9, 2025); M.R.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-CV-01517-JLT (HC), 2025 WL 3265446 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 24, 2025). On or before February 10, 2026, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from the Court's prior orders in J.S.H.M. v. Wofford, Ortiz Donis v. Chestnut, and M.M.R. v. Chestnut and justify denying the petition, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. By February 5, 2026, to the extent not already accomplished, petitioner's counsel is directed: (1) to serve respondents with a copy of the petition, the accompanying papers, and a copy of this Order, by e-mail to all appropriate recipients including the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California, with a copy to usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov, and by overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").
