MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Edward J Davila on 7/9/2026: The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1 ) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (ECF No. 2 ). Petitioner asserts that he has been detained since June 3, 2025. ECF No. 2 at 2. He does not explain why the Court should treat the situation as an emergency given this delay in filing the request for emergency relief. Thus, the TRO request is DENIED pursuant to Local Rule 231(b). Further, it appears this matter may be related to 1:25-cv-01777-WBS-SCR within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Respondents are ordered to file a Notice of Related cases pursuant to Local Rule 123(b) on both dockets by 7/10/2026. (Text Only Entry) (Thomas, Julia) (Entered: 07/09/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Edward J Davila on 7/14/2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Dkt. No. 1 ) and Respondents' Notice of Related Cases indicating that this petition is duplicative of the habeas petition filed in 1:25-cv-01777-WBS-SCR. Examination of 1:25-cv-01777-WBS-SCR and this matter reveals that the petitions in both cases are near duplicates, filed by the same petitioner and raising similar claims. The petition in 1:25-cv-01777-WBS-SCR was denied on June 23, 2026. This petition—filed on July 8, 2026—does not present any changed circumstances from the first petition justifying relief. Therefore, the Court dismisses the later-filed Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in this action without prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.
