MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Edward J Davila on 8/11/2026: 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 the Court and others in many prior cases. See Simon v. Warden, Cent. Valley Annex, No. 1:26-CV-05030 (EJD), 2026 WL 1992936 (E.D. Cal. July 9, 2026); Palacios Ortega v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-CV-04151 (EJD), 2026 WL 2130161 (E.D. Cal. July 23, 2026); Romain v. Warden, Central Valley Annex, No. 1:26-CV-04154 (VC), 2026 WL 2130249 (E.D. Cal. July 23, 2026); Kumar v. Warden, Golden State Annex, No. 1:26-CV-04109 (EJD), 2026 WL 2163563 (E.D. Cal. July 27, 2026). On or before 8/14/2026, Respondents are ordered to show cause as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinct from cases listed above and would justify denial of a preliminary injunction. Respondents should also state whether they oppose this Court converting the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order to a Motion for Preliminary Injunction, or alternatively, ruling on the underlying habeas petition in its entirety. Petitioner may file a reply on or before 8/17/2026. Respondents are PROHIBITED from transferring Petitioner while the 1 habeas petition and 2 TRO 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.
