ORDER DENYING 8 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. In the 8 Motion, Petitioner seeks, inter alia, immediate release from detention. Given that Petitioner is requesting affirmative relief rather than maintenance of the status quo, Petitioner's request goes beyond the limited, temporary nature of a TRO and requires giving Respondents notice and an opportunity to be heard. See Hope v. Warden York County Prison, 956 F.3d 156, 162 (3d Cir. 2020). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 8 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is DENIED. Signed by Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand on 4/23/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.

ORDER DENYING 18 Second MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order. Petitioner's 18 Second Motion for Temporary Restraining Order appears to be substantively identical to his 8 first motion for TRO. The only difference the Court discerns is Petitioner's inclusion of additional detail regarding Petitioner's arrest on criminal charges and a Pretrial Release Order from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County. See ECF No. 18 at 3. These added facts related to Petitioner's state court criminal proceedings do not change the Court's reasoning in denying Petitioner's motion for TRO. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the Court's Order at ECF No. 13, the 18 Second Motion for TRO is DENIED. Signed by Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand on 4/27/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (bjw) (Entered: 04/27/2026)

ORDER DENYING 22 Motion for Reconsideration. On 4/23/2026, the Court issued an 13 order denying Petitioner's 8 motion for a temporary restraining order. ECF No. 13. On 4/27/2026, the Court denied Petitioner's second, substantially similar, 18 motion for a TRO. ECF No. 21. Now, in the 22 Motion, Petitioner asks this Court to reconsider its 21 Order denying Petitioner's second 18 motion for a TRO. Although a court "has the power to revisit prior decisions of its own," it "should be loathe to do so in the absence of extraordinary circumstances." In re Pharmacy Benefit Managers Antitrust Litig., 582 F.3d 432, 439 (3d Cir. 2009) (quoting Christianson v. Colt Indus. Operating Corp., 486 U.S. 800, 816 (1988)). After careful consideration of the 22 Motion, the Court is not persuaded by Petitioner's arguments for reconsideration of the Court's 21 4/27/2026 Order. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 22 Motion is DENIED.Signed by Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand on 4/29/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue.
