MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge Mark C. Scarsi: ORDER RE: Ex PARTE APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER 2 AND REFERRAL TO OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDER. Petitioner Jose Alfredo Alvarenga, a self-represented litigant, brings this action for a writ of habeas corpus. (Pet., ECF No. 1.) Petitioner filed an ex parte application for a temporary restraining order. (Appl., ECF No. 2.)The motion fails to comply with the rules governing Rule 65 motion practice and is denied on that basis. Petitioner asks the Court to appoint counsel on his behalf. (Mot. to Seek Counsel, ECF No. 1.) Due to the nature of Petitioners requested relief, it appears from the record that appointment of counsel may be warranted in the instant action. However, the Court has insufficient information at the present time to determine whether Petitioner financially qualifies for such appointment under § 3006A(a)(2), as Petitioner paid the filing fee and has not requested to proceed in forma pauperis. 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. The Court directs the Clerk to send a copy of this Order and the petition to the Office of the Federal Public Defender. (lc) Modified on 5/11/2026 (lc). (Entered: 05/11/2026)
