MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 10/01/2026. Petitioner, Xa Lee (A# 028-008-565), a self-represented immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and paid the filing fee. Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis 2 is DENIED as moot. The petition asserts that the revocation of petitioner's release and his potential removal to a third country is in violation of the regulations and the due process clause. ECF No. 1. Respondent is directed to respond to the petition within 7 days from the date of this order. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Respondent shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish this case from Pham v. Warden, 833 F. Supp. 3d 1092 (E.D. Cal. 2026), Osorto-Coello v. Warden of California City Detention Facility, No. 1:26-cv-3231 DC AC, 2026 WL 1470603 (E.D. Cal. May 26, 2026), M.R. v. Warden, No. 1:26-cv-4296 TLN AC, 2026 WL 2149764 (E.D. Cal. July 27, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court. The court will construe failure to distinguish the above cited cases as a concession that the cases are not substantively distinguishable. Any response must include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants or notices, and, if respondent disputes any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days after being served a copy of respondent's response. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 10/01/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 10/01/2026: Examination of Case Nos. 1:26-cv-07830-TLN-AC and 1:26-cv-07838-DC-JDP 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-07830-TLN-AC is reassigned to District Judge Dena M. Coggins and Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson. All future filings shall use the following case number: 1:26-cv-07830-DC-JDP. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk RAA) (Entered: 10/01/2026)
