[copy of Text Order filed in 9:26-cv-762]: TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the 10 "Second Verified Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus" and 11 Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, both of which were filed in this case and labeled with Case No. 26-cv-762.

Accordingly, the Clerk is respectfully directed to open a new case, directly assign the new case to the undersigned as a related case, and file the 10 "Second Verified Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus," 11 Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, and this Text Order in the new case. As Petitioner has already paid the second filing fee, no further fee is required. SO ORDERED by Chief Judge Brenda K. Sannes on June 18, 2026.

(Dkt. No. 13, at 1). Petitioner is directed to file a letter by 10/15/2026 providing a status update and indicating whether he still seeks an order from this Court directing that a bond hearing be held.
