MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 04/20/2026. Petitioner, Alejandro Rivas Reynaldo (A# 244-354-556), a self-represented immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Based on the length of time in which petitioner has been in immigration detention, the court hereby authorizes petitioner to proceed in forma pauperis without prepayment of the filing fee in this action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914. The petition, liberally construed, asserts two violations of petitioner's due process rights: one based on his prolonged detention and another based on the revocation of his release. Respondents are directed to file an answer/return within 14 days from the date of this order, which shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders in Lida G.B. v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-2061 TLN CKD, 2026 WL 19104 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 3. 2026) and Chavarria v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-1755 DAD AC, 2025 WL 3533606 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 9, 2025), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. If respondents dispute any factual representations in the operative petition, they shall include with the answer/return any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply/traverse, if any, is due within 7 days of being served a copy of the respondents' answer/return. Respondents shall NOT TRANSFER petitioner outside of this judicial district, pending further order of the court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (establishing the All Writs Act which empowers the federal courts to "issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions...."); see also F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (emphasizing that federal courts have the power to "to preserve the court's jurisdiction or maintain the status quo by injunction pending review of an agency's action"). The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order together with a copy of petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on the United States Attorney.
