MINUTES (In Chambers) Order Referring Case to the Federal Public Defender to Consider Appointment of Counsel by Judge Kenly Kiya Kato. Here, the Weygandt factors sufficiently support the appointment of counsel to represent Petitioner. The Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Central District of California ("FPD") has indicated that it will accept appointments to represent pro se petitioners in immigration-related habeas corpus proceedings such as this one. Accordingly, the Court REFERS this case to the FPD for consideration of appointment of counsel for Petitioner. The FPD is ORDERED to file a response within seven (7) days of this order issuing, indicating whether the FPD will represent Petitioner in this matter. This obligation shall be satisfied if the FPD files a notice of appearance in this case. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve a copy of this order on the FPD. (See document for further information). (aco) (Entered: 02/27/2026)
