MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court reviewed the petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 3 ). Petitioner asserts that he has been detained since April 14, 2026 (Doc. 1 at 5), approximately 5 months ago. In the related action, Case No. 26-03530-JLT-EPG, the Court found Petitioner is subject to mandatory detention under Section 1226(c). Petitioner now argues that his ongoing detention without a bond hearing violates his due process rights. Upon review of the petition and pending motion for injunctive relief, the Court finds Petitioner is unlikely to succeed on the merits of his claim, and he fails to show why the Court should treat his continued detention as a procedural emergency. Thus, the TRO request is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b).The Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 21 days. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 7 days after the respondents file their brief. Given this briefing schedule, Respondents' motion for an extension of time (Doc. 10 ) is terminated as MOOT signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on September 18, 2026.
