MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Noel Wise on 10/6/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. The issues raised therein appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases: Avila v. Warden, Golden State Annex, No. 1:26-CV-04274-NW, 2026 WL 2339411 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 12, 2026); Kumar v. Becerra, No. 1:26-CV-05926-NW, 2026 WL 2260112 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 4, 2026). As such, by 10/13/2026, Respondents are ordered to show cause as to whether there are any factual or legal issues that render the Petition distinct from the cases listed above and would justify denial of the Petition. Petitioner may file a reply by 10/16/2026. Respondents are PROHIBITED from removing Petitioner from the Eastern District of California while the Petition is pending.
