MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 8/05/2026: (Text Only Entry). The Court has reviewed the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 3 motion for temporary restraining order. The 1 petition appears to raise legal issues that the Court has previously addressed. See e.g., Medvezhov v. Warden, No. 1:26-CV-05918-KES-SAB (HC), 2026 WL 2234501 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 3, 2026). The Court intends to rule directly on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 3 motion for temporary restraining order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-CV-3118 (PMH), 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). On or before August 7, 2026, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that distinguish it from the Court's prior orders in Medvezhov v. Warden, No. 1:26-CV-05918-KES-SAB (HC), 2026 WL 2234501 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 3, 2026) and justify denying the petition, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (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 8/17/2026: (Text Only Entry). The 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus is GRANTED. Respondents concede that petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and that petitioner is entitled to a timely bond hearing. See Doc. 9 at 1-2. Respondents are therefore ORDERED to provide petitioner Charles Asante (A-Number: A-130-188-164) with a bond hearing within seven (7) days pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and its implementing regulations. Respondents shall immediately provide petitioner with a copy of this Order and shall provide him with 72 hours' written notice before the bond hearing. If respondents do not provide petitioner with a bond hearing within seven days, then respondents must release him. The Clerk is directed to terminate any pending motions and close this case.
