MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on March 17, 2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) Respondents shall file any opposition to Petitioner's Motion for TRO by March 19, 2027. Any opposition shall indicate whether Respondents oppose converting the motion for TRO into a motion for preliminary injunction and whether Respondents request a hearing on the motion. Failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). In the meantime, 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, 608 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction."). Petitioner shall serve this Order and all documents filed in this case, on Respondents with a copy via email to: usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov.
