MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 4/15/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 7 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by Count One of the Petition. See e.g., Alvarez Maciel v. Noem, No. 1:26-cv-01318-DC-CKD, 2026 WL 496948 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 23, 2026), and Barajas Ortiz v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-01167-DC-SCR, 2026 WL 508419 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 24, 2026). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 7 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 4/17/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders listed above. Petitioner may file a Reply by 12:00 PM on 4/20/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition, albeit as to Count One only, to the extent a ruling on that Count entitles Petitioner to the relief sought in the Petition. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 04/15/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued on 4/28/2026 by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins: On 4/17/2026, Respondents filed an 9 Opposition to Petitioner's 7 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order in which they distinguish Petitioner's claim from those cited in the court's 8 Order by noting that Petitioner has been provided a bond hearing in which the immigration judge denied bond based on lack of jurisdiction and, in the alternative, because "Respondent is a flight risk, and no amount of bond will ensure his appearance at future hearings or his compliance with the directives of immigration officers." (See Doc. No. 9 at 2, 20.) Respondents attach the immigration judge's order denying bond, and a separate order stating that Petitioner withdrew a subsequent request for custody redetermination. (Id. at 20-21, 23-24.) Petitioner contends that because "the Immigration Judge disclaimed jurisdiction, any alternative findings were not made pursuant to the governing statutory framework and do not constitute a legally operative basis for detention." (See Doc. No. 7 at 4.) Petitioner, however, does not cite any authority supporting this proposition. Further, Petitioner does not address why he withdrew his subsequent request for custody redetermination. Accordingly, Petitioner has not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of his claim that he is being improperly detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b) without the opportunity for release on bond, and his 7 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is therefore DENIED. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 04/28/2026)
