District Judge Angel Kelley: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The Court acknowledges the Respondents' Notice of Intent to Remove Petitioner. [Dkt. 15]. As stated in the Notice, Petitioner shall "not be removed until further Order of this Court" as the Court reviews the Petition. To give the Court an opportunity to consider whether it has subject-matter jurisdiction, and if so to determine the validity of the habeas petition, the Court may order Respondents to preserve the status quo. See United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947) (ruling that the District Court ha[s] the power to preserve existing conditions while it [is] determining its own authority to grant injunctive relief, unless the assertion of jurisdiction is frivolous). Such an order is valid unless and until it is overturned, even when the issuing court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction to determine the merits of the underlying action. See id. at 294-95. That principle applies with even greater force where the action the court enjoins would otherwise destroy its jurisdiction or moot the case. See United States v. Shipp, 203 U.S. 563, 573 (1906).Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the stay on Petitioner's transfer and removal pursuant to the Service Order [Dkt. 4] remains in effect until the Court decides the Petition [Dkt. 1].(CEH) (Entered: 10/08/2026)
