If counsel is not a member of the Eastern District of California Criminal Justice Act ("CJA") Panel, the Court hereby authorizes them to serve as pro hac vice CJA counsel for petitioner for the duration of the proceedings in this Court pursuant to Local Rule 180(b)(1). If counsel is not admitted to practice before the Eastern District of California court, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3005 and 3006A and this District's CJA Plan, General Order 671, § XV.C.1.g as applied here, the Court hereby authorizes said counsel's pro hac vice admission to practice before this court for the duration of the proceedings, nunc pro tunc to the date the appointing authority first contacted counsel about this appointment.3. Seven days after counsel for Petitioner is identified, Petitioner's counsel shall file a reply. Respondent may file a supplemental response three days after being served with Petitioner's reply. 4.

MINUTE ORDER issued by Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim on 6/11/2026: On May 22, 2026, respondent was directed to file, within seven days, a supplemental brief addressing its 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) argument. (ECF No. 11.) The May 29, 2026 deadline has passed, and respondent has not filed a supplemental brief or otherwise responded to this Court's order. (See Docket.).
