TEXT ORDER This matter comes before the Court upon Clinton Nsom Ngong's Verified Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, Dkt. No. 1, (the "Petition"), and motion for temporary restraining order, Dkt.

In accordance with Rule 4 of the Rules Governing 2254 Cases ("Habeas Rule 4"), applicable to § 2241 cases through Rule 1(b), scope of the Rules, this Court has screened the Petition for dismissal and determined dismissal without a full answer is not warranted. Respondents shall file an expedited answer to the Petition within 7 days. Whereas the Court has enjoined Petitioner's transfer from New Jersey and ordered an expedited answer for resolution of the Petition, Petitioner's TRO Motion, Dkt. No. 1-2, is DISMISSED as moot. So Ordered by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 03/18/2026. (Costigan, Roberta) (Entered: 03/18/2026)
