EO: The court has received and reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, and Motion to Appoint Counsel, ECF No. 2 . Upon review of the Petition, the court believes this case would benefit from the appointment of counsel. Petitioner's Motion to Appoint Counsel, ECF No. 2, is therefore GRANTED. Within seven days from the date of this order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify counsel and send counsel's contact information to Smith_Orders@hid.uscourts.gov, which shall update the docket to reflect counsel's appointment. If counsel is not a member of the Eastern District of California Criminal Justice Act Panel, within seven days of this Order the Federal Defender shall file a motion to appoint counsel as CJA counsel pro hac vice. Within fourteen days of appointment of counsel, Petitioner may supplement the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. The Clerk's Office is directed to serve a copy of the petition on the Federal Defender. After counsel is appointed, the court will set a schedule for briefing on the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. And given the court's ongoing consideration of Petitioner's Petition, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that Respondents shall not transfer or otherwise take Petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").
