ORDER
:
The Court has carefully reviewed the ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order and petition for habeas corpus filed by Petitioner on Friday, June 12, 2020 [ECF #5, 6, 7-16]. The Court finds that Petition provides no justification for moving ex parte. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, June 17, 2020, Petitioner shall serve the petition for habeas corpus, the motion for a temporary restraining order, and a copy of this Order on Respondents.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, by the same deadline, Petitioner shall file and serve a brief statement, not to exceed two pages, explaining where Petitioner is currently being detained, with as much specificity as possible, and why jurisdiction lies in this district.
