Aug 21, 2026

MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 12). Petitioner (A File #: 233-345-260) asserts that he has been detained for more than 10 months. (Doc. 12 at 3). He does not explain his delay in seeking his request for a temporary restraining order or why despite this delay, the Court should treat the situation as an emergency. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b). The matter is fully briefed, and the Court will decide his petition as soon as possible signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on August 21, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 08/21/2026)
