Sep 04, 2026
MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed on July 27, 2026, under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the request for emergency injunctive relief filed today (Doc. 8). Petitioner (A File #: 243-133-139) asserts that he has been detained since June 23, 2026 (Doc. 1 at 4). He does not explain his delay in seeking his request for a temporary restraining order or why despite this delay, the Court should treat the situation as an emergency. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b) signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on September 4, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 09/04/2026)
