MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on February 13, 2026: The Court has reviewed pro se Petitioner's Writ of Habeas Corpus and Request for Injunctive Relief. (ECF No. 1 ). The Court construes Petitioner's emergency request for injunctive relief as a motion for temporary restraining order ("TRO"). See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976). Accordingly, Respondents shall file any opposition to Petitioner's motion for TRO by February 17, 2026. Any opposition shall provide the Court with copies of all referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File and any and all available records related to Petitioner's allegations. Responds shall also identify whether they have any objection to converting the motion for TRO into a motion for preliminary injunction and whether they request a hearing. Pending the Court's ruling on the petition, 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, 608 (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"). The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order together with a copy of Petitioner's petitioner for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on the United States Attorney.
