EO: The court has received and reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, ECF No. 3 . Based on the current record, it appears that Petitioner may be entitled to some form of immediate relief. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are therefore ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing no later than June 23, 2026, why the court should not grant Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order. Any response SHALL include copies of referenced or relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File and other supporting documents necessary for the resolution of the issues presented in the motion. Any such documents shall only be filed electronically and, to the extent practicable, provided in Optical Character Recognition ("OCR") format. Respondent shall not file a hard copy of the transcripts or other documents unless so ordered by this court. Petitioner may file a reply no later than June 26, 2026. The Court directs the parties to indicate in their respective filings (1) whether they are requesting a hearing and (2) whether they agree to convert the request for a TRO into a preliminary injunction without further briefing. Depending on the content of the filings, the Court may set a hearing or may rule on the papers. After the court has resolved Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order, it will set a briefing schedule for the Petition. Given the court's ongoing consideration of the Petition and Motion, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that Respondents shall not transfer or otherwise take Petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. 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: 06/18/2026)
