FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS (Text Only): Petitioner's 3 Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is GRANTED. Petitioner's 4 Motion for the Appointment of Counsel is GRANTED. Within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of this order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify counsel and send counsel's contact information to Lisa Kennison, Courtroom Deputy for Chief Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney, via email at lkennison@caed.uscourts.gov, who shall update the docket to reflect counsel's appointment. If counsel is not a member of the Eastern District of California Criminal Justice Act ("CJA") Panel, the court hereby authorizes them to serve as Pro Hac Vice CJA counsel for Petitioner for the duration of the proceedings in this court pursuant to Local Rule 180(b)(1). If counsel is not admitted to practice before the Eastern District of California, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3005 and 3006A and this District's CJA Plan, General Order 700, § XV.C.1.g as applied here, the court hereby authorizes said counsel's Pro Hac Vice admission to practice before this court for the duration of the proceedings, nunc pro tunc to the date the appointing authority first contacted counsel about this appointment. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order on the Federal Defender, Attention: Habeas Appointment. The Clerk shall also serve a copy of the 1 Petition upon the Federal Defender.Because Petitioner fails to demonstrate that he is likely to succeed on his claims as the claims are too vague at this point, THE COURT RECOMMENDS that Petitioner's 2 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order be DENIED. See Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008) (in order to obtain temporary restraining order, litigant must establish, among other things, success on the merits is likely). These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 21 (twenty-one) days after being served with these findings and recommendations, Petitioner may file written objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Petitioner is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 5/21/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 13 ) and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 14 ). The issues raised in Counts 1 and 2 of the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. See Morillo v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-01533-DJC-AC; see also E.L.D.M. v Becerra, No. 1:25-cv-01906-DJC-JDP. The Court intends to rule directly on the 13 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 14 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-03118-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 May 26, 2026, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from the Court's prior orders listed above and justify denying the petition, or indicate this matter is not substantively distinguishable. Petitioner may file a reply on or before May 27, 2026. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary.
