ORDER re 3 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by Tem Tom. In the Motion, Pro Se Petitioner seeks immediate release from custody pending adjudication of his newly filed Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Petitioner previously filed an earlier Petition for Habeas Corpus on June 16, 2026, and this Court denied it on August 4, 2006. See No. 3:26-cv-1126 (ECF No. 9). Petitioner filed a new Petition for Habeas Corpus accompanying by a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. To obtain a temporary restraining order (a "TRO"), Petitioner must satisfy the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 and show that: (1) he is likely to succeed on the merits, (2) denial will result in irreparable harm, (3) granting the injunction will not result in irreparable harm to the Respondent(s), and (4) granting the injunction is in the public interest. Here, Petitioner provides no factual or legal basis to satisfy these requirements. Therefore, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion at ECF No. 3 is DENIED without prejudice insofar that it seeks relief via a temporary restraining order. The Court will give prompt consideration to the merits of the Petition upon the case management schedule that will issue forthwith. The Motion for TRO is denied. Signed by Judge W. Scott Hardy on 8/19/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (kas) (Entered: 08/19/2026)
