MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on April 21, 2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) The Court has reviewed Petitioner's motion and finds Petitioner has met his burden establishing a TRO is warranted under the factors articulated in Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). Petitioner has established: (1) a likelihood of success on his claim that Respondent violated the Due Process Clause; (2) Petitioner will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a TRO; (3) the balance of equities tip in Petitioner's favor; and (4) a TRO is in the public interest. The Court has repeatedly ruled on the issues presented in the instant case. See, e.g., Brayan C. C. v. Warden of California City Corr. Ctr., No. 2:26-CV-00641-TLN-JDP, 2026 WL 710358, at *2-3 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2026). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. To return Petitioner to the status quo ante litem, Respondent is ORDERED TO IMMEDIATELY RELEASE FROM DETENTION FACILITY Petitioner (A# 242-398-795) under the same conditions he was released prior to his current detention. At the time of release, Respondent must return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions. Respondent is ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from re-arresting or re-detaining Petitioner absent compliance with constitutional protections, including seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing. Respondent may apply to the Court for modification or dissolution of the TRO on two days' notice to Petitioner. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(4). The bond requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) is waived. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings pursuant to Local Rule 302 and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve California City Detention Facility with a copy of this Order. IT IS SO ORDERED. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (cc: Ca City) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 04/21/2026)
