MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the Court finds that this action (1:26-cv-06725-DC-AC) is related to Case Nos. 1:26-cv-02685-JLT-EPG, because the actions involve overlapping parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Thus, the Court ORDERS that Case No. 1:26-cv-06725-DC-AC is reassigned to U.S District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston and Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean. All future filings shall reflect the judge reassignments signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on August 26, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 08/26/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) This is petitioner's second action seeking release from his immigration-based detention. He was arrested about 8 months ago and received a bond hearing, which this Court ordered (Case No.: 1:26,cv-02685 JLT EPG), in May 2026. Though he was ordered to be released upon posting of a bond, he remains in custody due to his inability to afford the bond amount, and his appeal of the bond determination remains pending. Petitioner now requests the Court grant him emergency injunctive relief to affect his release. (Doc. 3). However, Petitioner (A File #: 245-435-863) has failed to demonstrate that his detention status should be addressed on shortened time (i.e., as a procedural emergency). Eastern District of California Local Rule 231(b) permits the Court to consider "whether the applicant could have sought relief by motion for preliminary injunction at an earlier date without the necessity for seeking last-minute relief by motion for temporary restraining order." The evidence of harm cited by counsel is identified by nearly every petitioner who has sought immigration-related habeas relief from this Court in recent months--at the rate of 4 to 5 dozen per week. Petitioner's request is, in effect, an attempt to jump the line ahead of similarly situated individuals. For these reasons, the new request for a temporary restraining order (Doc 3) is DENIED.The Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 21 days. The response SHALL provide the Court with copies of referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File (including the I-213) and other supporting documents, including available documentation related to any asserted violations of release conditions. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 7 days after the respondents file their brief.In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). Given the exigent circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing, to preserve the Court's jurisdiction and to preserve Petitioner's access to the Court and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on August 26, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 08/26/2026)
