TEXT ORDER -- Currently pending before the Court is a petition for a writ of habeas corpus that appears to have been mailed from Delaney Hall by Petitioner on June 13, 2026, and received and entered on the docket by the Clerk of Court on June 16, 2026. ECF Nos. 1, 1-4. Thereafter, the Court entered a no transfer order on June 16, 2026. ECF No. 2. However, the Court is also in receipt of Respondents' letter indicating that Petitioner was transferred to a facility in Louisiana on June 14, 2026, before the no transfer order was entered. ECF No. 4 . Respondents also indicate that they are conferring with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will update the Court with more information. Id. Respondents are hereby ORDERED to update the Court by letter as to Petitioner's current location and his location at the time of filing his petition by June 22, 2026. Respondents' letter shall also address whether Petitioner's mailing of his petition on June 13, 2026, conferred this Court with subject matter jurisdiction over the habeas petition. Finally, Petitioner shall not be moved from Louisiana (or from the United States) to any other jurisdiction (except New Jersey) without permission from this Court. See In re Philippi, No. 06-91, 2006 WL 1949020, at *1 n.1 (D.N.J. July 11, 2006) ("[A] court may issue an order to preserve the status quo to protect its ability to render judgment until such time as said court determines whether it may properly exercise jurisdiction." (citing United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947))); Star Creations Inv. Co. v. Alan Amron Dev., Inc., No. 95-4328, 1995 WL 495126, at *16 (E.D. Pa. Aug. 18, 1995) ("A district court possesses inherent powers of equity sufficient to enable it to preserve the status quo until the question of its jurisdiction can be resolved." (quoting Fernandez-Roque v. Smith, 671 F.2d 426, 431 (11th Cir. 1982))); see also In re Patriot's Point Assocs., Ltd., 902 F.2d 1566 (4th Cir. 1990) ("The district court may of course properly preserve the status quo until the question of its jurisdiction can be resolved.").
