MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge Mark C. Scarsi: ORDER RE: MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER 4 . AND REFERRAL TO OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDER Petitioner David Galicia Tlatelpa, a self-represented litigant, brings this action for a writ of habeas corpus. (Pet., ECF No. 1.) Petitioner filed a motion for a preliminary injunction and for a temporary restraining order. (Mot., ECF No. 4.) The motion fails to comply with the rules governing Rule 65 motion practice and are denied on that basis. The motion for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order is denied. Petitioner also filed a motion for the appointment of counsel. (Appointment Mot., ECF No. 3.) Due to the nature of Petitioners requested relief, it appears from the record that appointment of counsel may be warranted in the instant action. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2) (Whenever the United States magistrate judge or the court determines that the interests of justice so require, representation may be provided for any financially eligible person who is seeking relief under section 2241....). 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. The Court directs the Clerk to send a copy of this Order and the petition to the Office of the Federal Public Defender. Pursuant to Central District of California General Order No. 05-07, further proceedings on Petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis and motion for appointment of counsel are referred to the assigned magistrate judge.
