(IN CHAMBERS) Order Denying Without Prejudice Petitioner's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (ECF 2 ) by Magistrate Judge Stephanie S. Christensen. The Court denies Petitioner's motion for a TRO because the briefing schedule on Petitioners underlying habeas petition has been expedited such that Petitioner cannot show irreparable harm warranting a TRO during the pendency of his habeas proceedings. See Granny Goose Foods, Inc. v. Bhd. of Teamsters, 415 U.S. 423, 439 (1974) (the underlying purpose of a TRO is "preserving the status quo and preventing irreparable harm just so long as is necessary to hold a hearing.") Accordingly, Petitioner's motion for a TRO (ECF 2) is DENIED without prejudice. (tsn) (Entered: 09/09/2026)

ORDER by Magistrate Judge Stephanie S. Christensen. The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Amended Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction (EFC 7). This motion was filed three days after the first nearly identical request, and on the same day the Court denied the initial request. The motion is DENIED for the same reasons as outlined in the Court's September 9, 2026 Order denying that initial request. (ECF 2; ECF 6.) The Court notes that General Order 26-05 (EFC 5) requires Respondents to provide at least two days' notice to the Petitioner, Petitioner's counsel, and the Court of its intent to remove the Petitioner from the Central District of California.
