MINUTES OF IN CHAMBERS - ORDER CONSOLIDATING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION WITH THE HABEAS PETITION by Judge Dolly M. Gee: Petitioner Pedro Delgado Manuel, proceeding pro se (self-represented), filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 2241 1, a motion for emergency temporary restraining order ("TRO") 2, a "motion for certification of class member" 3, and a request for the appointment of counsel 4 . It appears Petitioner also argues that he is entitled to and has been denied a bond hearing to contest his continued detention. Having reviewed the TRO motion, the Court converts it to a motion for preliminary injunction ("MPI"). As the MPI incorporates the arguments in the habeas petition and seeks the same relief, and for the purposes of judicial efficiency, the Court intends to consolidate a ruling on the MPI with a ruling on the habeas petition. The Court has already issued an order setting an expedited briefing schedule on the habeas petition. The same briefing schedule shall apply to the MPI. Thus, the parties shall comply with the briefing schedule set forth in that Order (Doc No. 7), and no hearing will be held on the MPI unless the parties are notified by the Court. Briefing shall address whether Petitioner is a member of the class in Bautista v. Santacruz, ED CV 25-1873-SSS (BFM). A copy of the form for Petitioner to consent to the jurisdiction of a U.S. Magistrate Judge shall also be sent to Petitioner with this Order. Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk) (Entered: 05/29/2026)

MINUTES OF IN CHAMBERS - ORDER REFERRING CASE TO THE FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDER TO CONSIDER APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL by Judge Dolly M. Gee: Petitioner, an immigration detainee who is proceeding pro se, filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. section 2241 and requests appointment of counsel. There is no absolute right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. The office of the Federal Public Defender for the Central District of California ("FPD") has indicated that it will review requests for appointment of counsel 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, indicating whether the FPD will represent Petitioner in this matter, decline representation in this matter, or recommend appointment of CJA counsel. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve a copy of this order on the FPD. See document for further details. Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk) (Entered: 05/29/2026)
