MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 2/17/2026: The Court has reviewed petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 3 motion for temporary restraining order. The Court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by the 3 motion for temporary restraining order. See e.g., CrispinM.C. v. Noem, No. 1:25-CV-01487-KES-HBK (HC), 2026 WL 70553 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 8, 2026); J.A.C.P.v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01354-KES-SKO (HC), 2025 WL 3013328 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 27, 2025); Lepev. Andrews, 801 F. Supp. 3d 1104 (E.D. Cal. 2025). On or before February 19, 2026, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that distinguish it from the Court's prior orders in CrispinM.C. v. Noem, J.A.C.P.v. Wofford and Lepev. Andrews and justify denying the motion, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Respondents shall state their position as to whether the 3 motion for temporary restraining order should be converted into a motion for preliminary injunction and whether they request a hearing on the 3 motion. 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").
