MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Edward J Davila on 10/21/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The Court intends to rule directly on the Petition, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the TRO. 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."); 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."); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-cv-03118-PMH, 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). The issues raised in the petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court and others in many prior cases: Soumare v. Chesnut, No. 1:26-CV-06293 (EJD), 2026 WL 3034250 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 9, 2026); Zheng v. Warden of the Golden State Annex, No. 1:26-CV-03533 (EJD), 2026 WL 1354477 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026); Sifonte v. Allen, No. 1:26-CV-04955 (EJD), 2026 WL 2718555 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 14, 2026). Within 3 court days of this order, 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 within 4 court days of this order. Respondents are PROHIBITED from removing Petitioner from the Eastern District of California while the Petition is pending.
