MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE: MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND ORDER REFERRING CASE TO THE FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDER TO CONSIDER APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL by Judge Cynthia Valenzuela: The Court DENIES Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order 2 WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Should Petitioner seek to renew the Motion, he must allege why the expedited briefing schedule in the General Order is insufficient. Should Petitioner seek an accelerated briefing schedule for his Petition, he must meet and confer with Respondents or explain why such a conference cannot be held. There is no absolute right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. The Federal Public Defender for the Central District of California ("FPD") has indicated that it will accept appointments to represent pro se petitioners in immigration-related habeas corpus proceedings such as this one. Accordingly, the Court REFERS this case to the FPD for consideration of appointment of counsel for Petitioner. The FPD is ORDERED to file a response within seven days of this order issuing, indicating whether the FPD will represent Petitioner in this matter and whether Petitioner will agree to this appointment. This obligation shall be satisfied if the FPD files a notice of appearance in this case. See document for further details. Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk) (Entered: 05/07/2026)
