(IN CHAMBERS) Order Denying Petitioner's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (ECF 5) by Magistrate Judge Stephanie S. Christensen denying 5 MOTION for TRO. The Court denies Petitioner's motion for a TRO because the briefing schedule on Petitioner's underlying habeas petition has been expedited such that Petitioner cannot show irreparable harm warranting a TRO during the pendency of his habeas proceedings. See Granny Goose Foods, Inc. v. Bhd. of Teamsters, 415 U.S. 423, 439 (1974) (the underlying purpose of a TRO is "preserving the status quo and preventing irreparable harm just so long as is necessary to hold a hearing.") Accordingly, Petitioner's motion for a TRO (ECF 5) is DENIED. (tsn) (Entered: 04/07/2026)
