Order on Motion for TRO

Jul 29, 2026

Text Order DENYING 2 Motion for TRO entered by Judge Xavier Rodriguez. A movant seeking a temporary restraining order must demonstrate a substantial likelihood of success on the merits. Clark v. Prichard, 812 F.2d 991, 993 (5th Cir. 1987). This case presents novel or fact-intensive issues not previously addressed by this Court. Petitioner has not demonstrated a substantial likelihood of succeeding on these claims. This Court has received hundreds of habeas corpus petitions in recent months. The Petition will be assessed, and the Court will rule on it, in due course. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (TMlc)
