Status Conference

Dec 23, 2025

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Diana Saldana. STATUS CONFERENCE held on 12/23/2025. Defendant sworn. The petitioner has filed a petition pro-se. The Court inquires if the petitioner has found an attorney to help him with this case. Mr. Samir Hakimi informs he has been in custody since November 2024, and is asking for an attorney to be appointed to help him with this case. The Respondent is trying to remove the petitioner back to Afghanistan. Petitioner Hakimi addresses the Court. The Court understands the petitioner has been in custody for some time but before the Court can appoint an attorney for the petitioner - she must confirm if the defendant has any funds to hire an attorney. Petitioner Hakimi informs he has not had the ability to make money while he has been in custody and informs he does not have property or assets in the United States. AUSA Adebe informs they have filed a status informing they have not heard back from Afghanistan as to the transportation letter, informs the A-File is also being reviewed. The Court finds that the petitioner does qualify for a CJA attorney and an attorney will be appointed. Once an attorney has been appointed, the attorney will reach out to the petitioner to help him navigate this process. The Petitioner is informed that this case is being monitored and understands that this is a very difficult situation, but does believe that the issue that needed to be addressed was taken care of at todays hearing. TIME: 1:07 PM - 1:25 PM. Appearances:AUSA Gabriel Abebe for the Respondent, Petitioner Samir Hakimi (from the LaSalle Facility); Farsi Interpreter: Dr. Aslan Aslanian.
