MINUTE (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE: MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER (ECF No. 2 ) by Judge Mark C. Scarsi. The application is denied. Due to the nature of Petitioner's requested relief, it appears from the record that appointment of counsel may be warranted in the instant action. This matter is accordingly referred to the Office of the Federal Public Defender for review. Within seven days of entry of this Order, the Office of the Federal Public Defender shall advise the Court whether it intends to seek appointment in this matter. If the Office of the Federal Public Defender determines that it will seek appointment, it shall assist Petitioner in preparing a financial affidavit which will allow the Court to determine whether Petitioner is financially eligible for such appointment.
