MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan on 1/8/2026: Respondents shall file a written opposition to the pending motion for temporary restraining order (ECF No. 11 ) by 5:00 PM on January 12, 2026. In that opposition, respondents shall substantively address whether any provision of law or fact in this case would distinguish it from this court's decision in Morales-Flores v. Lyons, et al., No. 1:25-cv-01640-TLN-EFB (HC), 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 256842, 2025 WL 3514495 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 8, 2025), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Respondents should also state whether they oppose this Court converting the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order to a Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Petitioner may file a reply brief on or before January 14, 2026. If the parties were to jointly agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties proposal. 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 JRW) (Entered: 01/08/2026)
