MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Vince Chhabria on 6/24/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Dkt. No. 1 ) and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (Dkt. No. 13 ). The issues raised therein appear to mirror those previously addressed by this Court and others in many prior cases. See Alauddin v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-CV-03541 (AMO), 2026 WL 1346863 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026); Ozturk v. Lyons, No. 1:26-CV-03484 (VC), 2026 WL 1354540 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026); Zheng v. Warden, No. 1:26-CV-03533 (EJD), 2026 WL 1354477 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026). On or before 6/26/26, Respondents are ordered to show cause as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinct from the Court's prior orders in the cases listed above and would justify denial of a preliminary injunction with respect to Petitioner's 13 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order. Respondents should also state whether they oppose this Court converting the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order to a Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Petitioner may file a reply on or before 6/29/26.Given the request for emergency relief, the Court vacates the briefing schedule for the 1 petition set at Dkt. No. 11 . The remainder of that order remains in effect. The Court will set a briefing schedule on the petition following its ruling on the 13 TRO. (Text Only Entry) (Thomas, Julia) (Entered: 06/24/2026)
