MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan on 8/4/2026: In light of Judge Coggins' dismissal of Petitioner's earlier-filed § 2241 petition as duplicative of this action, see Archaga Montes v. Warden, Cal. City Detention Facility, Case No. 1:26-cv-05881-DC-CKD, ECF No. 6 (E.D. Cal., Aug. 3, 2026), the undersigned will set a schedule for briefing this matter. Respondents are DIRECTED to SHOW CAUSE within 7 days why the Writ should not be granted. Petitioner may file a reply within 3 days of Respondents' answer. Absent a further order of the court, the petition will be taken under submission after the filing of the answer. To ensure this Court's jurisdiction to resolve the pending § 2241 petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner to another detention center outside of this judicial district, pending further order of the Court. The parties shall inform the court as expeditiously as possible in the event that petitioner obtains an immigration bond and it is paid resulting in release or that a travel document is obtained for petitioner that will result in imminent removal from this country. Either party shall update the court by filing a Notice of Changed Circumstances that informs the court of the circumstances that have changed. Parties must review this MINUTE ORDER Document which is a scheduling order. [See attached for details.] (Deputy Clerk SH) (Entered: 08/04/2026)
