MINUTE ORDER (TEXT ONLY): The Court has reviewed petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Court has addressed the legal issues raised by the 1 petition on previous occasions. See e.g., J.S.H.M. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01309-JLT-SKO (HC) (E.D. Cal. Oct. 16, 2025); Ortiz Donis v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-CV-01228-JLT-SAB (HC), 2025 WL 32879514 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 9, 2025); M.R.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-CV-01517-JLT (HC), 2025 WL 3265446 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 24, 2025). On or before May 17, 2026, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from the Court's prior orders in J.S.H.M. v. Wofford, Ortiz Donis v. Chestnut, and M.M.R. v. Chestnut and justify denying the petition, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not 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"). Minute order signed by Magistrate Judge Frank J. Singer on 5/13/2026. (Deputy Clerk EV) (Entered: 05/13/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) A routine review of the EOIR public database indicates that petitioner (A No. 241-798-777) was ordered removed on June 9, 2026, and that any appeal is due by July 9, 2026. In their recent filing, Respondents attach a copy of the Immigration Judge's order of removal which indicates that Petitioner waived his right to an appeal. (Doc. [9-3] at 1-2.) Respondents argue that Petitioner's waiver of his right to appeal renders his order administratively final under 8 C.F.R. § 1241.1(b) and that as a result, Petitioner is subject to a 90-day mandatory detention period. (Doc. 10 at 1-2.) However, the BIA and the Ninth Circuit retain jurisdiction to review whether a waiver of the right to appeal was done knowingly and intelligently. See Biwot v. Gonzales, 403 F.3d 1094, 1098 (9th Cir. 2005); In re Rodriguez-Diaz, 22 I. & N. Dec. 1320, 1322-23 (BIA 2000). Accordingly, to allow the Court to properly evaluate the applicable detention authority in this matter, as soon as possible but no later than July 10, 2026, Petitioner SHALL file a notice indicating whether an appeal has been filed signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on June 15, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 06/15/2026)
