MINUTE ORDER issued on 6/22/2026 by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 11 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order, specifically directing ICE not to transfer Petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. The court DENIES Petitioner's 11 Motion because there is no basis for the relief sought; this court retains jurisdiction over Petitioner's Habeas Petition notwithstanding his transfer to a detention facility outside of this district. See Garcia-Ayala v. Andrews, No. 2:25-cv-02070-DJC-JDP, 2025 WL 2578167, at *3 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 5, 2025) (explaining that "the Court does not lose jurisdiction over [Petitioner's] pending habeas petition if Petitioner is transferred to another jurisdiction").
