MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 9/24/2026: Examination of Case Nos. 1:26-cv-03495-TLN-JDP and 1:26-cv-07759-KES-EPG reveals the actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). The Court finds the assignment of these actions to the same judge is likely to effect a savings of judicial effort and promote convenience, efficiency, and economy for the Court and the parties. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that Case No. 1:26-cv-07759-KES-EPG is reassigned to Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley and Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson. All future filings shall use the following case number: 1:26-cv-07759-TLN-JDP. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (cc: Sac Ops) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 09/24/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 9/25/2026: Petitioner, an immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the court must examine the habeas corpus petition and order a response to the petition unless it "plainly appears" that the petitioner is not entitled to relief. It does not plainly appear that petitioner is not entitled to relief. Therefore, the court orders the government to respond to the petition and sets a briefing schedule. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that: 1. Within seven days of this order's service, respondent must file an answer to the petition. The answer must address the merits of the petition and set forth the "true cause of the detention." See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Any argument by respondent that petitioner has procedurally defaulted a claim must be raised in the answer, which must also address the merits of petitioner's claims. Respondent shall attach any documents necessary for resolving the issues presented in the petition. Arguments that are not supported with relevant evidence will not be considered. 2. Petitioner may file a traverse to respondent's answer within seven days of the date of service of that answer. If no traverse is filed within seven days, the petition and answer are deemed submitted. 3. If respondent learns of petitioner's removal or any other change in petitioner's detention status, respondent shall submit a status report notifying the court as soon as practicably possible.
