DESIGNATION

Jun 01, 2026
EO: The court has received and reviewed Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus, Dkt. No. 1, and motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, Dkt. No. 2. The issues raised in Count II of the petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by this court and others in many prior cases, particularly whether Petitioner's due process rights have been violated. See, e.g., Brandon A.R. v. Warden of Golden State Annex, No. 1:26-cv-03004-MWJS, 2026 WL 1139597 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 27, 2026); Sergio S.M. v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01973-KES-HBK (HC), 2025 WL 3768206 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 31, 2025); Maldonado Perez v. Warden of the Central Valley Annex, No. 1:26-cv-03538 (VC), 2026 WL 1365782 (E.D. Cal. May 15, 2026); Almendarez v. Warden, California City Corr. Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-03111-JLT-FJS, 2026 WL 1189190 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 30, 2026). 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 June 3, 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 June 5, 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. On or before June 3, 2026, Petitioner must provide both his Alien Registration Number ("A-Number") and country of origin via e-mail to Smith_Orders@hid.uscourts.gov. 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"). IT IS SO ORDERED. (JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 06/01/2026)
