MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on 6/26/2025: The parties are ordered to appear for a hearing on petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order (Doc. 4 ) on Tuesday July 1, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 4 (7th Floor) of the Robert E. Coyle Federal Courthouse. In the meantime, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that defendants 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 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 and any subsequent order and finds that petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief.No later than today, June 26, 2025, petitioner's counsel is directed (1) to serve respondents with a copy of the petition, the motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail to all appropriate recipients including the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California and by overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. (Deputy Clerk YV) (Entered: 06/26/2025)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on 6/28/2025: (Text Only Entry). The Court has examined the proofs of service filed in this case thus far. As to one of the two attorneys for the United States served by email, it appears that there is a mismatch between the spelling of that attorney's last name and the spelling in the associated email address used by Plaintiff for service. (See Doc. 9 at 2.) As soon as possible but no later than 10:00am on Monday, June 30, 2025, Plaintiff SHALL re-serve notice to the correct email address and/or update proofs of service accordingly.
