MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 7/2/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review the issues raised in the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. See Morillo v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-01533-DJC-AC; see also E.L.D.M. v Becerra, No. 1:25-cv-01906-DJC-JDP. Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before July 8, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. In such a return, Respondents should identify any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from the Court's prior orders listed above and justify denying the petition, or indicate this matter is not substantively distinguishable. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. [TEXT ONLY ORDER] (Deputy Clerk GJM) (Entered: 07/02/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 7/10/2026: On July 1, 2026, Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (ECF No. 1.) The Court ordered Respondents to file a return under 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Based on the information subsequently provided by the Court by Respondents (see ECF No. 7), it is no longer apparent that Petitioner is entitled to relief. However, upon review, the Court believes this case would benefit from the appointment of counsel. Within seven (7) 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 gmichel@caed.uscourts.gov, who 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 (7) days of this Order the Federal Defender shall file a motion to appoint counsel as CJA counsel pro hac vice. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further briefing. The Clerk's Office is directed to serve a copy of the petition on the Federal Defender.
