MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 3/17/2026: The Court has reviewed petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 2 motion for temporary restraining order. The Court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by the 2 motion for temporary restraining order. See e.g., Crispin M.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); Lepe v. Andrews, 801 F. Supp. 3d 1104 (E.D. Cal. 2025). On or before March 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 Crispin M.C. v. Noem, J.A.C.P. v. Wofford and Lepe v. Andrews and justify denying the motion, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Respondents shall state their position as to whether the 2 motion for temporary restraining order should be converted into a motion for preliminary injunction and whether they request a hearing on the 2 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").

Mar 20, 2026

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 3/20/2026: The 2 motion for temporary restraining order is denied. Petitioner argues that he is entitled to a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). But he has already received at least one § 1226(a) bond hearing as recently as January 30, 2026, and the immigration judge denied bond after finding that petitioner was a flight risk and a danger. See Doc. 6-1. The Ninth Circuit has upheld § 1226(a)'s procedures as applied to a detainee, like petitioner, who was detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). Rodriguez Diaz v. Garland, 53 F.4th 1189, 1207-14 (9th Cir. 2022). To the extent petitioner seeks a second § 1226(a) bond hearing, that claim also fails in light of Rodriguez Diaz. See id. at 1207-14 (9th Cir. 2022) (due process did not require second bond hearing for noncitizen who was detained for over fourteen months after his first § 1226(a) bond hearing, when noncitizen did not show any constitutional error at first bond hearing and he could request a second bond hearing upon showing changed circumstances pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1003.19(e)). Petitioner has therefore failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits of his claims. This matter is referred to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings, including the preparation of findings and recommendations on the petition. (jv) (Entered: 03/20/2026)

Aug 12, 2026

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 8/12/2026: (Text Only Entry): On March 17, 2026, the court set a briefing schedule on petitioner's 2 motion for temporary restraining order and ordered that "[p]ending the Court's decision... respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District." Doc. 4. Petitioner moves to enforce this court's order prohibiting his transfer out of this district, see Doc. 17, but the court issued its decision denying the 2 motion for temporary restraining order on March 20, 2026. See Doc. 8. Petitioner's 17 motion to enforce is therefore denied. Additionally, petitioner subsequently became subject to a final order of removal and was removed from the country, see Doc. 18, which renders his petition moot as he is no longer detained. "For a habeas petition to continue to present a live controversy after the petitioner's release or deportation... there must be some remaining 'collateral consequence' that may be redressed by success on the petition." Abdala v. INS, 488 F.3d 1061, 1064 (9th Cir. 2007) (internal citation omitted). The petition in this case challenges only petitioner's detention. Petitioner has now been removed, and his removal "cur[es] his complaints about" his detention. Abdala, 488 F.3d at 1065. The petition no longer presents a live controversy and is therefore moot. See id. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case and terminate any remaining motions as moot. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 08/12/2026)
