MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Cristina D. Silva on 6/4/2026. On May 21, 2026, petitioner Lopez Crawford filed an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order. ECF No. 2. Counsel for Lopez Crawford filed an affidavit in support of the emergency motion. ECF No. 5. The local rules of this district provide the court with the sole discretion to determine whether an "emergency" motion is, in fact, an emergency. Local Rule 7-4(c). The emergency motion seeks the same relief as the pending petition, so I do not find it rises to the level of necessitating expedited resolution at this time. Accordingly, it is ordered that the respondents must file a response to the motion for temporary restraining order at the same time as its response to the petition, by June 18, 2026.(no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - JLB) (Entered: 06/04/2026)

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Cristina D. Silva on 9/30/2026. On September 29, 2026, the respondents filed a notice informing the court that the petitioner is scheduled to be transferred to a removal staging facility on October 2, 2026, and then ultimately removed. ECF No. 20 . On September 30, 2026, the petitioner filed a response, asserting that he is not yet subject to an administratively final order of removal because he filed an appeal and fee waiver request with the Executive Office for Immigration Review Board and that filing was timely under the 15-day cure period provided for by 8 C.F.R. § 1003.8(a)(3). ECF No. 21 . Those filings demonstrate the need for expedited resolution. Accordingly, the court hereby orders counsel for the petitioner and the respondents to appear for a hearing on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. in LV Courtroom 6B.
