SCHEDULING NOTICE TEXT ONLY ENTRY (In Chambers) by Magistrate Judge Brianna Fuller Mircheff. The Petition in this case indicates that venue is proper in the Eastern District of California because Petitioner is detained in the California City Correctional Center (Pet. at 3); it was filed, however, in the Central District of California. It is unclear if Petitioner meant to file this Petition in another District, or if Petitioner's counsel has, perhaps, stated allegations that mixes the facts of one petitioner with another. Petitioner is therefore ordered to show cause in writing why the Petition should not be transferred and/or dismissed. Petitioner's response to the OSC should be filed NO LATER THAN APRIL 21, 2026. The GO 26-05 scheduling order is STAYED until further order of this Court, except that Respondents shall promptly enter a notice of appearance.THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 4/22/2026: (Text Only Entry). The Court has reviewed the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 3 motion for temporary restraining order. The 1 petition appears to challenge petitioner's re-detention and raise legal issues that this Court has previously addressed. See e.g., Elmer Joel M. C. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01622-KES-CDB (HC), 2025 WL 3501200 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 6, 2025); Clene C.D. v. Robbins, No. 1:25-CV-01463-KES-SKO (HC), 2026 WL 84302 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 12, 2026); W.V.S.M. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01489-KES-HBK (HC), 2025 WL 3236521 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 19, 2025); Bilal A. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01715-KES-HBK (HC), 2025 WL 3648366 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 16, 2025); Marina V.N. v. Robbins, No. 1:25-CV-01845-KES-SKO (HC), 2025 WL 3701960 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 21, 2025). The Court intends to rule directly on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 3 motion for temporary restraining order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-CV-3118 (PMH), 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). On or before April 24, 2026, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that distinguish it from the Court's prior orders in Elmer Joel M. C. v. Wofford, Clene C.D. v. Robbins, W.V.S.M. v. Wofford, Bilal A. v. Wofford, and Marina V.N. v. Robbins and justify denying the petition, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").
