MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on March 24, 2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's request for injunctive relief contained in his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (ECF No. 1 ). The Court construes this request as a motion for temporary restraining order. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976). Accordingly, Respondents shall file any opposition to Petitioner's motion for TRO by March 27, 2026. Any response must include Petitioner's full 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 motion for TRO. Respondents shall also identify whether they have any objection to converting the motion for TRO into a motion for preliminary injunction and whether they request a hearing. Failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). Pending the Court's ruling on this petition, 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 court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order together with a copy of Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on the U.S. Attorneys' Office.

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on April 13, 2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's Motion for Leave to File Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (ECF No. 11 .) Having considered the motion papers and the record in this matter, the Court finds good cause to grant leave to amend. The Court concludes that amendment is appropriate under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2). The original petition was filed pro se, court-appointed counsel has since appeared for Petitioner, and the proposed amended petition will assist the Court by providing a clearer operative pleading. The Court further finds that amendment will not unduly prejudice Respondents and that granting leave will facilitate adjudication of the habeas claims. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion (ECF No. 11 ) is GRANTED. Petitioner's counsel is directed to file the Amended Petition via CM/ECF. Additionally, Petitioner requests the Amended Petition supersede the originally filed habeas petition, including the motion for temporary restraining order ("TRO"), as construed by this Court. (See ECF No. 3 .) Thus, the Court considers the motion for TRO withdrawn. The Court will rule on the Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus directly as requested. Respondents shall file any response to the Amended Petition within 3 court days of the Notice of Electronic Filing for the Amended Petition. Petitioner may file a reply within 2 court days of Respondents' response. Finally, this Court's prior Order not to transfer Petitioner, pending a ruling on the Petition, remains in effect. (ECF No. 3 .) SO ORDERED. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 04/13/2026)
