MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 8/24/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 2 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order directing Respondents not to transfer Petitioner out of this jurisdiction.

See Garcia-Ayala v. Andrews, No. 2:25-cv-02070-DJC-JDP, 2025 WL 2578167, at *3 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 5, 2025) (explaining that "the Court does not lose jurisdiction over [Petitioner's] pending habeas petition if Petitioner is transferred to another jurisdiction"). This matter is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 08/24/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 8/27/2026: Petitioner, an immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the court must examine the habeas corpus petition and order a response to the petition unless it "plainly appears" that the petitioner is not entitled to relief. It does not plainly appear that petitioner is not entitled to relief. Therefore, the court orders the government to respond to the petition and sets a briefing schedule. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that: 1. Within seven days of this order's service, respondent must file an answer to the petition. The answer must address the merits of the petition and set forth the "true cause of the detention." See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Any argument by respondent that petitioner has procedurally defaulted a claim must be raised in the answer, which must also address the merits of petitioner's claims. Respondent shall attach any documents necessary for resolving the issues presented in the petition. Arguments that are not supported with relevant evidence will not be considered. 2. Petitioner may file a traverse to respondent's answer within seven days of the date of service of that answer. If no traverse is filed within seven days, the petition and answer are deemed submitted. 3. If respondent learns of petitioner's removal or any other change in petitioner's detention status, respondent shall submit a status report notifying the court as soon as practicably possible.
