EO: The court has received and reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Pending the court'sdecision on the Petition, 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"). The issues raised in the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by other district judges in many prior cases. See Duque Jaramillo v. Mullin, No. 1:26-cv-04029-MWJS; Germinal v. Warden of the Mesa Verde Detention Facility, 1:26-cv-03776-MWJS; Fernandes Lima v. Warden, No. 1:26-cv-03651-MWJS; Talavera-Heredia v. Warden of the Cent. Valley Annex, No. 1:26-cv-03179; De Leon Sales v. Warden, California City Corr. Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-02821-MWJS. Given the substantial percolation of these issues, the court intends to rule directly on the Petition. See 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."). On or before August 12, 2026, Respondents are ORDEREDTO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from prior orders such as the ones listed above and justify denying the Petition, or indicate this matter is not substantively distinguishable. Petitioner may file a reply on or before August 14, 2026. This matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. IT IS SO ORDERED. (JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 08/10/2026)

EO: The court has reviewed Respondent's 5 Response to Order to Show Cause and the attached exhibits. The Response correctly identifies Petitioner as Voldemir Nunez Da Costa, A# 221-294-920. See Dkt. No. 5, at pg. 1. But the exhibits attached to the Response appear to concern a different individual--Jeronimo Amilcar Mantar, A# 235-321-164. See Dkt. Nos. 5-1-5-4. Accordingly, on or before August 20, 2026, Respondent may file corrected exhibits pertaining to Petitioner. If Respondent does not intend to file corrected exhibits, Respondent shall notify the court by that same date. IT IS SO ORDERED. (JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 08/19/2026)
