ORDER - To further protect the status quo pending resolution of this case, unless otherwise ordered by this Court, Petitioner shall not be moved outside of the District of Oregon without first providing advance Notice of Intended Removal. Such Notice must be filed in writing and on the docket in this proceeding and must state the reason that Respondents believe such a move is necessary and should not be stayed pending further court proceedings. Once that Notice has been filed on the docket, the Petitioner shall not be moved out of the District for a period of at least 48 hours from the time of the docketing. If the 48-hour period would end on a weekend or legal holiday, the period continues to run until the same time on the next day that is not a weekend or legal holiday. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(2)(C). This period may be shortened or extended as appropriate by further Court order. If Respondents have already moved Petitioner outside of this District, Respondents are ordered to file a Notice of Prior Removal that states the exact date and time that Petitioner left the District of Oregon and the reason why Respondents believed that such a move was immediately necessary. Such Notice of Prior Removal will be due either: a. Within two hours of being served with this Order if the Order is filed from 8:00AM PST to 6:00 PM, PST, or b. By 9:00AM PST the following day if this Order is filed between 6:00 PM PST and 8:00 AM PST. The Court will set a case scheduling conference as appropriate upon making an initial determination regarding jurisdiction over this habeas petition. Signed on 3/27/2026 by Judge Karin J. Immergut.

MINUTE ORDER (text only) DENYING 5 Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Because Petitioner has been moved to this District, his request for an order barring his removal from the District of Oregon is moot. His request for an order of immediate release is denied as it "is the same relief ultimately sought by his habeas petition" and therefore should be decided "through regular adjudication of the habeas petition itself." Balwan v. Bondi, No. 2:26-CV-00248-LK, 2026 WL 174204, at *1 (W.D. Wash. Jan. 22, 2026). Authorized by Judge Lauren King. (KRA) (Entered: 03/31/2026)
