ORDER APPOINTING COUNSEL I. FILING FEE First, the Court DEFERS consideration of Petitioner's filing fee until Petitioner has an informed opportunity to satisfy it, presumably with the assistance of counsel. Cf. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) (requiring petitioners for writs of habeas corpus to pay a $5 filing fee); cf. also Part II (appointing counsel). To that end, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED Petitioner must either pay the filing fee, or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP Application"), by May 19, 2026. Cf. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (enabling petitioners in civil detention to seek leave to proceed in forma pauperis). The Clerk of Court is kindly instructed to ATTACH a copy of the Court's standard IFP Application to this Order. II. APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED the Federal Public Defender for the United States District of Nevada ("FPD") is APPOINTED to represent Petitioner. The Clerk of Court is kindly instructed to ADD the FPD to the docket as an "Attorney to be Noticed" using the following email address: ecf_nvchu@fd.org. The Clerk is further instructed to SEND a copy of this Order to the FPD and CJA Coordinator for this division. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the FPD must FILE a notice of appearance, or ADVISE the Court that it cannot represent Petitioner, by May 11, 2026. Appointed counsel will represent Petitioner in all federal proceedings related to this matter, including any appeals or certiorari proceedings, unless appointed counsel is allowed to withdraw. III.

Specifically, Respondents must PRODUCE these materials to Petitioner's Counsel by May 12, 2026. Alternatively, by that same date, Respondents must CERTIFY that, after a diligent search, they have determined that the record(s) are not in their possession, custody, or control. IV. BRIEFINGFourth, pursuant to the Court's inherent authority "to manage [its] dockets... with a view toward the efficient and expedient resolution of cases," Cahill v. Insider Inc., 131 F.4th 933, 938 (9th Cir. 2025) (quoting Dietz v.
