ORDER. To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending final disposition of the 1 Petition, Respondents are enjoined from moving Petitioner to a location outside this District, the Southern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. See, e.g., Loc. 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n, AFL-CIO v. N.Y. Shipping Ass'n, Inc., 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992) ("Once the district court acquires jurisdiction over the subject matter of, and the parties to, the litigation, the All Writs Act [28 U.S.C. § 1651] authorizes a federal court to protect that jurisdiction."); Garcia-Izquierdo v. Gartner, No. 04 Civ. 7377, 2004 WL 2093515, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sep. 17, 2004) (observing that, under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. §1651, a district court "may order that a petitioner's deportation be stayed... when a stay is necessary to preserve the Court's jurisdiction of the case"); Khalil v. Joyce, No. 25 Civ. 1935, 2025 WL 750599, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 10, 2025) (barring the government from removing petitioner from the United States until the Court could address his claim); Ozturk v. Hyde, 136 F.4th 382 (2d Cir. 2025) (declining to stay a district court order, issued pursuant to the All Writs Act, which transferred petitioner to the district court's territorial jurisdiction, given district courts' "undeniabl[e]... inherent authority to protect [its] proceedings" (citation modified)); cf. Michael v. I.N.S., 48 F.3d 657, 661-62 (2d Cir. 1995) (holding that the All Writs Act provides a federal court of appeals reviewing a final removal order with a basis to stay removal). The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to email a copy of this Order and the Petition to the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Eastern District of New York. Petitioner's counsel shall also serve a copy of the order on the USAO. Ordered by Judge Nina R. Morrison on 4/13/2026. (MM)
