MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/13/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by the Petition. See e.g., H.G.S. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-04078-DC-CKD, Doc. No. 11 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 11, 2026) (finding due process entitled noncitizen subject to final administrative removal order to a bond hearing when his detention became prolonged due to pending withholding-only proceedings); J.R.M.J. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-cv-01567-DC-SCR, 2026 WL 1948264, at *5 (E.D. Cal. July 6, 2026) (same as to noncitizen subject to reinstated removal order). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 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."); A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 10/15/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders listed above. Petitioner may file a Reply by 12:00 PM on 10/16/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition. Respondents are further directed to include in their response: (i) the detention authority identified by or relied upon by the detaining agency at the time of detention; (ii) all documentation and evidence verifying that basis for detention and reflecting the steps the detaining agency took to comply with the procedural requirements of that detention authority; and (iii) all documentation, if any, reflecting whether and when Petitioner received notice of that basis for detention. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 10/13/2026)
