MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on March 18, 2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Ex-Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") requesting the Court prohibit Respondents from transferring Petitioner outside this district pending a ruling on his habeas petition. (ECF No. 2 .) The Court has reviewed Petitioner's motion and 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). Additionally, the Court routinely issues such orders. Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. Pending the outcome of the habeas petition, unless the Court orders otherwise, 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.") Respondents are further ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court should not grant the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and enter judgment in favor of Petitioner. Respondents shall file responsive papers by March 25, 2026. Any response must include Petitioner's Form I-213, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants or notices, and any other portions of Petitioner's A-File relevant to the determination of the issues presented in the habeas petition. Failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). Petitioner may file a reply by March 31, 2026. Petitioner shall immediately serve this Order, along with Petitioner's A # and all documents filed to date in this case, on Respondents with a copy via email to: usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. 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. SO ORDERED. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 03/18/2026)
