ORDER: The Court has reviewed Petitioner Hao Fu Lin's application pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 1, which appears to be well-founded. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner shall SERVE Respondents, see F.R.C.P. 4(i)(1) & (2), with a copy of the Petition and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail and by overnight certified mail, on or before May 29, 2026. Petitioner shall promptly file proof of such service on the docket, and counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter their notices of appearance.The facts of this case appear to be controlled by the Court's analysis in Koridze v. Ice Field Office Director, No. 1:25-cv-3870-SKC, Dkt. 16 (D. Colo. March 6, 2026). Consequently, within five days of service, Respondents shall RESPOND to the Petition and SHOW CAUSE why the Petition should not be granted. In their Response, Respondents must first address whether the present case differs factually or legally from Koridze in any material respect, and if so, shall specify the material differences.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Pursuant to the All Writs Act, and in order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Respondents SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order.

ORDER Petitioner filed a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order 13 requesting the Court issue an order "prohibiting Respondents from removing Mr. Lin from the District of Colorado or the United States pending this Court's ruling on Petitioner's Emergency Motion to Re-Open Case." Dkt. 13, ECF p.2. On June 15, 2026, Petitioner filed a Supplement 14 that informed the Court that Petitioner had been transferred outside of the District of Colorado. Because Petitioner has been transferred, the relief Petitioner seeks in his Motion for TRO is moot. Accordingly, the 13 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is DENIED.With respect to the Emergency Motion to Re-Open Case 12, this Court finds that it does not have jurisdiction. Under the district of confinement rule, habeas petitions challenging present physical confinement lie in only one district, the district of confinement. Ramirez v. Bondi, No. 25-cv-1002-RMR, 2026 WL 456722, at *3 (D. Colo. Feb. 18, 2026). The district of confinement is measured at the moment the habeas petition is filed, but here, this Court entered final judgment on June 10, 2026, and the case was closed. In a similar circumstance, Judge Rodriguez held that the court did not have jurisdiction to weigh the merits of a petitioner's claim where the petitioner filed a motion to enforce judgment after the case was closed. Id. at *4. There, Judge Rodriguez found that the petitioner was "detained in this District and properly filed her Habeas Petition in this Court. But she was not transferred to a facility outside of this District while her Habeas Petition was pending. Instead, her Habeas Petition was resolved when this Court granted in part and denied in part her petition. Final judgment was entered, and the Habeas Petition in this District was closed." Id. Judge Rodriguez concluded that the petitioner "must file a new Habeas petition challenging the due process of her re-detention in the district where she is confined." Id. The same is true here. As such, Petitioner's Emergency Motion to Re-Open Case 12 is DENIED.SO ORDERED by Judge S. Kato Crews on 6/15/2026.Text Only Entry (skclc4) (Entered: 06/15/2026)
