Order on Motion for TRO
Sep 22, 2026
Text Order DENYING 2 Motion for TRO. Because the injunctive relief Petitioner now seeks on a preliminary and ex parte basis is identical to the ultimate relief sought on the merits of this already-expedited habeas proceeding, the Motion is DENIED. The Court will resolve Petitioners request for relief by promptly ruling on the merits of the writ itself. See Garcia-Aleman v. Thompson, No. 25-CV-886-OLG, Dkt. No. 20 (W.D. Tex. Oct. 30, 2025) (collecting cases). Entered by Judge Orlando L. Garcia. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (vc)
