EO: The court has received and reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, ECF No. 2, Motion to Appoint Counsel, ECF No. 3, and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, ECF No. 4 . For good cause shown, Petitioner's 2 Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is GRANTED. And pending the court's decision on the Petition, 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").The issues raised in the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by other district judges in many prior cases. See A.J.S.M.P. v. Mullin, No. 1:26-cv-03163-MWJS; De Leon Sales v. Warden, California City Corr. Ctr.,No. 1:26-cv-02821-MWJS; Garcia Mariagua v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-01744-DJC-CSK. Given the substantial percolation of these issues, the court intends to rule directly on the Petition. See 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."). On or before May 11, 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 prior orders such as the ones listed above and justify denying the Petition, or indicate this matter is not substantively distinguishable. Petitioner may file a reply on or before May 13, 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.IT IS SO ORDERED.(JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 05/07/2026)
