MINUTE ORDER (text only): The Court DENIES Petitioner's 9 motion for a temporary restraining order. Petitioner does not dispute, see Dkt. No. 9 at 3, that his current detention authority has shifted to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a) because he has not appealed the BIA's 9/30/2026 dismissal of his appeal of his removal order. Petitioner does not address whether he intends to appeal the BIA's order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1)(B) (the removal period begins on "the latest of," as relevant here, (1) the date the order of removal becomes administratively final, or (2) if the removal order "is judicially reviewed and if a court orders a stay of the removal of the alien, the date of the court's final order"). Absent an appeal (and a stay of removal pending appeal, see 9th Cir. Gen. Order 6.4(c)), Petitioner is in the removal period and his detention is mandatory, which moots his petition. See Fernandez v. Scott, No. 2:26-CV-00043-LK, 2026 WL 607761, at *3 (W.D. Wash. Mar. 4, 2026). However, given the recency of the BIA order and the fact that Petitioner has not addressed whether he intends to appeal, the Court ORDERS that Respondents are prohibited from removing Petitioner until 10/9/2026 at 10:00 a.m. to provide Petitioner's counsel sufficient time to confer with Petitioner regarding a potential appeal and file an amended TRO if necessary, and to maintain the status quo during such period of time. Authorized by Judge Lauren King. (NAW) (Entered: 10/08/2026)
