MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 4/23/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 3 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by Count One of the Petition. See e.g., Selis Tinoco v. Noem, 1:25-cv-01762-DC-JDP, 2025 WL 3567862 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025), Labrador-Prato v. Noem, 1:25-cv-01598-DC-SCR, 2025 WL 3458802 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2025), and D.L.C. v. Wofford, 1:25-cv-01996-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 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."); A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 3 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 4/27/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders listed above. Petitioner may file a Reply by 5/11/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition, albeit as to Count One only, to the extent a ruling on that Count entitles Petitioner to the relief sought in the Petition. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 04/23/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued on 4/29/2026 by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins: On 4/23/2026, the court issued an 5 Order directing Respondent to file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to Petitioner's 3 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order by no later than 12:00 PM on 4/27/2026. The court also directed Respondent to "substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders" as cited. On 4/27/2026, Respondent filed an 6 Opposition to Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, which does not mention Petitioner's pending Motion nor comply the court's 5 Order. Indeed, Respondent does not acknowledge the cases cited in the court's 5 Order. In addition, Respondent does not address what effect, if any, the arrest precipitating Petitioner's immigration detention has on his custody. (See 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order at 2 (stating Petitioner was detained by police in Naples, Florida for 100 days before ICE took Petitioner into immigration custody)). Accordingly, Respondent is hereby DIRECTED to file a Supplemental Brief on or before 5/4/2026 to address the cases cited in the court's 5 Order, and what effect, if any, Petitioner's prior arrest has on his immigration custody status.
