Apr 01, 2026

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on April 1, 2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") (ECF No. 14 ) and Petitioner's counsel's Motion to Withdraw as Attorney. (ECF No. 17 ). Finding good cause, the Motion to Withdraw as Attorney is GRANTED. Within seven days from the date of this order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify new counsel for Petitioner and send counsel's contact information to Michele Krueger, Courtroom Deputy for Chief Judge Troy Nunley, via email at mkrueger@caed.uscourts.gov, who shall update the docket to reflect counsel's appointment. The Court further finds Petitioner has met his burden establishing a TRO is warranted under the factors articulated in Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). Petitioner has established: (1) a likelihood of success on his claims that Respondents violated the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause; (2) Petitioner will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a TRO; (3) the balance of equities tip in Petitioner's favor; and (4) a TRO is in the public interest. The Court has repeatedly ruled on the issues presented in the instant case. See, e.g., Meza Linares v. Warden of Golden State Annex, No. 1:26-cv-00047-TLN-EFB (E.D. Ca. Feb. 19, 2026). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. Respondents must provide a bond hearing within three (3) days of this Order where Respondents bear the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence before a neutral decisionmaker that Petitioner poses a danger to the community or a flight risk. The decisionmaker must consider Petitioner's financial circumstances for bond and alternative conditions of release. Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 991 (9th Cir. 2017). At the hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. If Petitioner is not found to be a danger to society or flight risk, Respondents must immediately release Petitioner. Respondents may impose any restrictions or conditions determined to be necessary by the neutral decisionmaker at the hearing. Within five (5) days, Respondent must file a notice of compliance and identify the outcome of the bond hearing. Respondents may apply to the Court for modification or dissolution of the TRO on two days' notice to Petitioner. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(4). The bond requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) is waived. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings pursuant to Local Rule 302 and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). SO ORDERED.
