MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 6/25/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review the issues raised in Count 2 of the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. See Garcia Mariagua v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-01744-DJC-CSK; Ortega v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01663-DJC-CKD; Lopez v. Lyons, No. 2:25-cv-03174-DJC-CKD. Respondents are ordered to show cause on or before June 29, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus as to Count 2 by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. In such a return, Respondents should identify any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from the Court's prior orders listed above and justify denying the petition, or indicate this matter is not substantively distinguishable. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. [TEXT ONLY ORDER] (Deputy Clerk JRW) (Entered: 06/25/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 6/30/2026: (Text Only Entry). Examination of this action reveals that it is related to Varela Rodriguez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-03555-KES-SAB, within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). See Local Rule 123(a)(1), (2). Accordingly, the assignment of this matter to the same judge and magistrate judge as in Varela Rodriguez v. Warden, 1:26-cv-03555-KES-SAB, is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the parties. It is hereby ORDERED that 1:26-cv-04804-DJC-CSK is reassigned from District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta and Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim to District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff and Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 1:26-cv-04804-KES-SAB. It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. This matter is referred to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings, including the preparation of findings and recommendations on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 06/30/2026)
