MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 7/31/2026: On 7/14/2026, the court ordered respondent not to transfer petitioner out of this district. (ECF No. 5 .) On 7/29/2026, respondent moved to vacate the no-transfer order, claiming that petitioner "is subject to a final order of removal, which was entered in absentia." (ECF No. 9 .) Respondent indicated that the order was being filed as "Ex. 1" to ECF No. 9, but the exhibit filed in the docket is the proof of service, ECF No. 9-1, and no removal order has been filed. Respondent's prior briefing in an earlier case involving petitioner stated that respondent is holding petitioner in "mandatory pre-order detention." (No. 1:26-cv-2974-KES-EPG, ECF No. 8 .) Respondent is aware that these two cases are connected, as respondent filed the docket for the first case as an exhibit to its motion to dismiss in this matter. (ECF No. 8 -1.) Respondent is hereby ORDERED to file the removal order, if it exists, in the record within seven days of this order. Respondent is also ORDERED to file a notice of related cases in this action and the related action pursuant to Local Rule 123(b) within seven days of this order. (Text Only Entry).

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 8/05/2026: (Text Only Entry). Examination of this action reveals that it is related to Casimiro-Trinidad v. U.S. General Attorney, 1:26-cv-02974-KES-EPG, within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). See Local Rule 123(a)(1), (2). Accordingly, the assignment of this matter to the same judge and magistrate judge as in Casimiro-Trinidad v. U.S. General Attorney, 1:26-cv-02974-KES-EPG, is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the parties. It is hereby ORDERED that 1:26-cv-05420-TLN-JDP is reassigned from Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley and Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson to District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff and Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 1:26-cv-05420-KES-EPG. It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. This matter is referred to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings, including the preparation of findings and recommendations on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus.
