MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 6/3/2026: This action is duplicative of another in which Petitioner has already been granted relief. See Rodriguez Sandoval v. Warden, No. 1:26-cv-02386-DJC-SCR. As such, the claim for relief raised in the Petition is no longer valid. Accordingly, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ) is DISMISSED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. This order resolves all pending motions. CASE CLOSED.
