ORDER re: 2 Petitioner's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order. To the extent the petitioner seeks issuance of a temporary restraining order without notice to the respondents and an opportunity for them to be heard, that request is denied. I will treat the motion as a motion for a preliminary injunction pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a).No later than 10/14/2025, the petitioner must serve each respondent with (1) a summons; (2) a copy of 1 Verified Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, and all exhibits thereto; (3) a copy 2 Petitioner's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and 3 Proposed Order Granting Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order; and (4) a copy of this Order in accordance with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, and he must promptly file proof of such service in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(l)(1).The respondents must respond to the motion within two weeks of service of the above documents, and the petitioner may file a reply in support of the motion within one week of service of the responses. The parties must submit all pertinent exhibits and direct witness testimony (by affidavit or declaration) as attachments to their briefs. After reviewing the respondents' responses and the petitioner's replies, if any, the Court will determine whether to (a) hold a preliminary-injunction hearing, (b) request supplemental briefing from the parties on specific legal or factual questions, or (c) decide the motion on the papers submitted. Live testimony at the preliminary-injunction hearing, if one is held, will be limited to cross-examination and redirect examination. SO ORDERED by Judge Daniel D. Domenico on 10/6/2025.
