MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) ORDER DENYING TRO; ORDER PREVENTING TRANSFER PENDING FURTHER COURT ORDER; ORDER FOR STAY OF REMOVAL PENDING FURTHER COURT ORDER; ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO APPOINT COUNSELThe Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1 ) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 3 ). Petitioner asserts he has been detained for over eight months and indicates he has a prior conviction. Petitioner fails to explain adequately the timing of his motion for a temporary restraining order or why, the Court should nonetheless treat the situation as an emergency that must be handled on shortened time. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. See Local Rule 231(b). However, Petitioner's request for appointment of counsel (Doc. 2 ) is GRANTED. Within 7 days from the date of this order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify counsel and send counsel's contact information to Courtroom Deputy I. Munoz, who shall update the docket to reflect counsel's appointment. To effectuate this appointment, the Clerk of Court is directed to serve a copy of the petition, via email, on the Federal Defender's Office. In addition, the Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge or by stipulation of the parties as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 30 days. Therein, Respondents SHALL provide the Court with copies of any portions of Petitioner's A-File or related supervision records Respondents rely upon. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 15 days after Respondents file their brief. In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). Given the exigent circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on February 6, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 02/06/2026)
