EO: Upon review of Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, the court believes this case would benefit from the appointment of counsel. Accordingly, Petitioner's 3 Motion for Appointment of Counsel is GRANTED. Within seven days from the date of this order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify counsel and send counsel's contact information Smith_Orders@hid.uscourts.gov, who shall update the docket to reflect counsel's appointment. If counsel is not a member of the Eastern District of California Criminal Justice Act Panel, within seven days of this Order the Federal Defender shall file a motion to appoint counsel as CJA counsel pro hac vice. Within fourteen days of appointment of counsel, Petitioner may file a further brief in support of Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The Clerk's Office is directed to serve a copy of the Petition on the Federal Defender. After counsel is appointed, the court will set a schedule for briefing on the Petition. Given the court's ongoing consideration of Petitioner's Petition, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer or otherwise take Petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See California Energy Comm'n v. Johnson, 767 F.2d 631, 634 (9th Cir. 1985) ("The All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), empowers the federal courts to issue writs of mandamus necessary to protect their prospective jurisdiction."). IT IS SO ORDERED. (JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 04/23/2026)
