MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 7/17/2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus ("the Petition") and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The Court intends to rule directly on the Petition, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made in support of the motion. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2). Within 2 court days, Respondents shall answer the Petition. Any response must include Petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter; any orders of release or detention; any custody determinations, warrants or notices; and any other portions of Petitioner's A-File relevant to the determination of the issues presented in the Petition. Failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). Pending the Court's ruling on the Petition, Respondents shall NOT TRANSFER Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (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").

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 7/20/2026: (Text Only Entry). Examination of this action reveals that it is related to Vargas Ocampo v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04267-KES-CDB, 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 Vargas Ocampo v. Warden, 1:26-cv-04267-KES-CDB, 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-05498-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 Christopher D. Baker. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 1:26-cv-05498-KES-CDB. It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 07/20/2026)
