MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 4/24/2026: On 2/12/2026, petitioner, proceeding pro se, filed a 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus. On 3/11/2026, pursuant to District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff's 10 order appointing counsel, Attorney Galina Dorris appeared as petitioner's counsel. On 4/23/2026, petitioner filed a 22 motion for temporary restraining order. Pro se filings by a represented party are improper. See Riel v. Warden, San Quentin State Prison, No. 2:01-cv-0507-MCE-DB, 2023 WL 2413825, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 8, 2023); United States v. Brayshaw, No. 2:14-mc-00088-MCE-KJN, 2018 WL 534120, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 23, 2018) (noting that under Rule 11, a party "cannot both be represented and file her own motions"). Therefore, the court DENIES the 22 motion for a temporary restraining order without prejudice to a properly filed motion. (Deputy Clerk MCF) (Entered: 04/24/2026)
