(Text-Only) ORDER. The May 12, 2026 Order enjoining Respondents from removing Petitioner from Minnesota (Doc. No. 5) is EXTENDED for good cause under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(2) until June 9, 2026 at 3:22 p.m., unless extended by further court order. Petitioner raises colorable claims to relief, and his removal from Minnesota would frustrate the Court's ability to adjudicate those claims.

Blackwell on 5/26/2026 at 10:21 a.m. (CRD) (Entered: 05/26/2026)
