MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Edward J Davila on 8/10/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ) and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 2 ). The issues raised therein appear to mirror those previously addressed by this Court and others in many prior cases. See Alauddin v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-CV-03541 (AMO), 2026 WL 1346863 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026); Ozturk v. Lyons, No. 1:26-CV-03484 (VC), 2026 WL 1354540 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026); Zheng v. Warden, No. 1:26-CV-03533 (EJD), 2026 WL 1354477 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026). On or before 8/24/2026, Respondents are ordered to show cause as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinct from the Court's prior orders in the cases listed above and would justify denial of the petition. Petitioner may file a reply on or before 8/31/2026. Respondents are PROHIBITED from transferring Petitioner out of the Eastern District of California while the 1 habeas petition is are pending. The matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. Counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance.
