Michael Ioane Sr.’s civil trial ended on Thursday, September 15, 2016. During the trial he
had been housed at Fresno County Jail. Before trial, Mr. Ioane had sought assurances from the
court that he would be returned expeditiously to his home facility, Taft Correctional Institute
Camp, as he needed to make filings in various other legal cases he is a party to. The U.S.
Marshals Service had previously indicated to the court that he would be returned to Taft within a
day or two after the trial. A full week after trial, Mr. Ioane remains at Fresno County. Mr. Ioane
has filed an emergency request seeking a court order to return him to Taft. The U.S. Marshals
Service now explains that Fresno County has held onto Mr. Ioane pending a medical review to
determine if he is healthy enough to travel; the U.S. Marshals say that Mr. Ioane should be
transported to a Kern County holding facility on Wednesday, September 28 and then sent to Taft
on Friday, September 30. This is a truly unwelcome circumstance. The delay appears to be due to
Fresno County’s procedures dealing with medical observation and should be resolved within the
next week. Given the nature of the delay, the court declines to intervene at this time. However, if
Mr. Ioane is not returned to Taft soon, he may renew his motion. As for problems arising in his
other lawsuits, this court can only make the record clear so that other courts might adjust deadlines
1
as they find appropriate. Mr. Ioane was transported from Taft early in the morning of September 2
2
(and effectively cut off from his legal papers in other cases starting August 31). He will likely not
3
be returned to Taft until September 30 and not have access to his legal materials until some time in
4
October.

Michael Ioane Sr.’s emergency ex part motion for an order transferring him to Taft
Correctional Institute Camp immediately is DENIED.
