Feb 03, 2026
MINUTE ORDER (TEXT ONLY) signed by Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto on 2/3/2026. The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order 14 . Petitioner asserts he has been detained approximately 14 months. Petitioner fails to adequately explain the delay in seeking a temporary restraining order or why this delay should cause this Court to treat the situation as an emergency. The Court is currently processing a vast amount of similar immigration cases. The petition is currently fully briefed and pending review. The Court will address Petitioner's petition as soon as possible in the order presented. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. See Local Rule 231(b).
