TEXT ORDER: In his Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (T.R.O.), ECF No. 5, Petitioner seeks his immediate release. Seeking immediate release goes beyond the "limited nature of a [T.R.O.]" and instead requests "mandatory, affirmative relief[,]" which may not be afforded via a T.R.O. Hope v. Warden York County Prison (Hope I), 956 F.3d 156, 162 (3d Cir. 2020) (finding that where the district court purported to enter an ex parte T.R.O. but directed the release of twenty petitioners, the relief altered the status quo, exceeding the temporary and limited nature of a [T.R.O.]) (citing Granny Goose Foods Inc. v. Brotherhood of Teamsters and Auto Truck Drivers Local, 415 U.S. 423, 439 (1974)). Therefore, Petitioners 5 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is DENIED. The jurisdiction of this case is returned to the Magistrate Judge for further proceedings. Signed by Judge Stephanie L. Haines on 2/6/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (cag) Modified text on 2/6/2026. (map) (Entered: 02/06/2026)
