MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 07/21/2026. Petitioner, an immigration detainee proceeding through counsel, filed a 1 petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis 2 is GRANTED and petitioner is authorized to proceed in forma pauperis without prepayment of the filing fee in this action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914. Respondents are directed to file a response within 7 days from the date of this order, which shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders in Wistong F. v. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, No. 1:26-cv-3399 TLN DMC, 2026 WL 1361794 (E.D. Cal. May 15, 2026), Vargas Monsalve v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00626 DAD CKD, 2026 WL 242066, and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable.

Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days of being served a copy of the respondents' response. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 07/21/2026)
