TEXT ORDER. Petitioner's 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (T.R.O.) is DENIED. Petitioner's request for a bond hearing and/or release goes beyond the "limited nature of a [T.R.O.]" and instead requests "mandatory, affirmative relief[,]" which may not be afforded via a T.R.O. Hope v. Warden York County Prison, 956 F.3d 156, 16162 (3d Cir. 2020) (finding that where the district court purported to enter an ex parte T.R.O. but directed the release of twenty petitioners, the "relief altered the status quo, exceeding the temporary and limited nature of a [T.R.O.]") (citing Granny Goose Foods Inc. v. Brotherhood of Teamsters and Auto Truck Drivers Local, 415 U.S. 423, 439 (1974)). Regardless of the merits of Petitioner's arguments regarding his entitlement to a bond hearing, the Court cannot afford him the relief he seeks without first hearing from Respondents. Signed by Judge Stephanie L. Haines on 7/16/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.
