DESIGNATION

Oct 09, 2026
EO: The court has received and reviewed Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, Dkt. No. 1, and motion for temporary restraining order, Dkt. No. 4 . The court intends to rule on the petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."). On or before October 14, 2026, Respondent is ORDERED to answer in writing the following questions: 1. Is Petitioner subject to a final order of removal? If so, after being ordered removed, was Petitioner released under an order of supervision or otherwise released from custody by immigration authorities? If Petitioner was released, are there any factual or legal bases to distinguish this case from cases like Afshin A.N. v. Chestnut, No. CV 1:26-cv-03813-MWJS, 2026 WL 1726781 (E.D. Cal. June 15, 2026)? 2. In Respondent's view, is Petitioner subject to mandatory detention pursuant to any provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act other than 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)? If the answer is yes, what is the relevant detention authority and why does Respondent think that it applies to Petitioner? 3. Other than the circumstances covered by the first question, was Petitioner otherwise ever detained and released by immigration authorities? If the answer is yes, what were the circumstances of that release, and are there any factual or legal bases to distinguish this case from the many prior cases in which other petitioners in a variety of circumstances have been granted immediate release? See, e.g., Maxo Ben G. v. Warden of Mesa Verde Det. Facility, No. 1:26-cv-03776-MWJS, 2026 WL 1457554 (E.D. Cal. May 21, 2026); Kallebe C.L. v. Warden, Cal. City Corr. Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-03651-MWJS, 2026 WL 1374754 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026); A.J.S.M.P. v. Mullin, No. 1:26-cv-03163-MWJS, 2026 WL 1190220 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 29, 2026); Sergio D.L.S. v. Warden, Cal. City Corr. Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-02821-MWJS, 2026 WL 1049713 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 17, 2026). 4. If Petitioner was not previously detained and released by immigration authorities, are there any factual or legal bases to distinguish this case from the many prior cases in which other petitioners have been granted bond hearings? See, e.g., Juana G.R.P. v. Warden of the Cal. City Det. Facility, No. 1:26-cv-04406-MWJS, 2026 WL 1712375 (E.D. Cal. June 12, 2026); Bertoldo B.F. v. Warden, Cal. City Immigr. Processing Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-03634-MWJS, 2026 WL 1638322 (E.D. Cal. June 4, 2026)? 5. Was Petitioner previously granted a bond hearing before an immigration judge? If the answer is yes, when was that hearing held, what was the outcome, and what was the reasoning underlying the immigration judge's decision? 6. Petitioner may file a reply on or before October 16, 2026. This matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. Given the court's ongoing consideration of the petition, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that Respondent shall not transfer or otherwise take Petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). IT IS SO ORDERED. 7. Petitioner's application and declaration to proceed in forma pauperis, Dkt. No. 2, is DENIED AS MOOT. (JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 10/09/2026)

Miscellaneous Relief
#13
Oct 23, 2026
EO: The court has received and reviewed Petitioner's motion to enforce judgment, Dkt. No. 12, which also requests the appointment of counsel, id. at pg. 2. On the record before it, the court cannot conclude that the interests of justice require the appointment of counsel at this time. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B). The request for appointment of counsel is therefore DENIED without prejudice to a future motion. It is not clear from the face of Petitioner's motion to enforce whether he is entitled to relief. The court therefore orders the following:Within seven days of the date of service of this order, Respondent SHALL FILE a transcript of Petitioner's bond hearing and any other documents necessary for the resolution of the issues presented in the motion. The transcript and any other documents shall be filed electronically with the court, and a hard copy shall be served upon Petitioner. Petitioner MAY FILE an amended motion to enforce within seven days of the service of the hearing transcript. After receipt of any amended motion to enforce or the passage of seven days after Respondent's service of the transcript and any other documents, the court will set a briefing schedule on the motion. If any party requires additional time, that party should file a motion for amendment of the schedule before a deadline has passed and explain in detail why the party cannot comply with this schedule. Extensions of time will only be granted upon a showing of good cause. All provisions of Local Rule 110 are applicable to this order. IT IS SO ORDERED. (JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) Modified on 10/23/2026 (AB). (Entered: 10/23/2026)
