MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 5/28/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (ECF No. 1 .) Respondents shall file a response to the Habeas Petition by June 1, 2026. Any opposition must include Petitioner's full Form I-213, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants or notices, and any other documents and portions of Petitioner's A-File relevant to the issues presented. Failure to timely respond will be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). The matter is not set for hearing at this time. Pending the Court's ruling on the Habeas Petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction.").
