Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief AND Order on Motion to Expedite
Jun 17, 2026
Text Order DENYING [] Motion for Immediate Review and [] Motion for Immediate Release from Detention (within Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus). Because the relief Petitioner now seeks on a preliminary and ex parte basis is essentially identical to the ultimate relief sought on the merits of this already-expedited habeas proceeding, the Motions are DENIED. The Court will resolve Petitioner's requests for relief by ruling on the merits of the writ itself. See Garcia-Aleman v. Thompson, No. 25-CV-00886-OLG (W.D. Tex. Oct. 30, 2025) (collecting cases) (Dkt. No. 20). Signed by Judge Orlando L. Garcia. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (ks1)
