5 6 7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 8 WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 9 10 TRUONG LINH HOANG, CASE NO. 2:26-cv-01591-LK 11 Petitioner, ORDER DENYING PENDING 12 v. MOTIONS AND CONTINUING DEADLINES 13 PATRICIA H. HYDE et al., 14 Respondents. 15
16 This matter comes before the Court on Petitioner Truong Linh Hoang’s Motion for 17 Temporary Restraining Order and Immediate Release, Dkt. No. 2, and his Motion for Expedited 18 Consideration and Order to Show Cause, Dkt. No. 6. 19 The request for expedited consideration is DENIED as moot based on the subsequent 20 issuance of the Court’s Scheduling Order. Dkt. No. 7. The motion for a temporary restraining order 21 (“TRO”) requests immediate release, but because this request “is the same relief ultimately sought 22 by his habeas petition, the Court concludes that it falls outside the limited purpose of a TRO and 23 should instead be decided either after a preliminary injunction hearing or through regular 24 adjudication of the habeas petition itself.” Nguyen v. Scott, No. 2:25-CV-01398, 2025 WL 1 2165995, at *7 (W.D. Wash. July 30, 2025); see also Tang v. Bondi, No. 2:25-CV-01473-RAJ- 2 TLF, 2025 WL 2979938, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Sept. 3, 2025). The Court therefore DENIES the 3 motion for a TRO. Dkt. No. 2. 4 Because Hoang is unrepresented and filing and receiving materials by mail, the Court
5 ORDERS as follows to allow him sufficient time to file his reply and receive notice: 6 1. The reply deadline of June 1, 2026 is extended to June 15, 2026, although Hoang may 7 file his reply sooner. The Government shall note its response for June 15, 2026. 8 2. The government shall provide Hoang at least 7 days (168 hours) notice prior to any 9 action to move or transfer him from the Western District of Washington or to remove 10 him from the United States. 11 The Clerk shall mail a copy of this Order to Hoang. 12 Dated this 12th day of May, 2026. 13 A 14 Lauren King United States District Judge 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
