TEXT ORDER: The application reflected in the letter at ECF 12 is denied. The purpose of "extraordinary circumstances" relief in this case would be to provide the Petitioner with immediate access to the relevant medication. If the medication is available outside of the facility, as noted more than 24 hours ago, the Court will order the Petitioner's immediate release on the terms previously noted so that she can be immediately treated. If medication is not available outside of the facility, then it is hard to know what the practical purpose of release would be -- beyond the assertion that the Petitioner could meet her lawyers at their law firm. This, though, is not a basis for bail. (This text order was conveyed by email from chambers to counsel at 9:25pm on April 19.). So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 4/19/2026.
