MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on December 5, 2025: The Court has reviewed pro se Petitioner Simranjit Singh's ("Petitioner") Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1 .) The Court construes Petitioner's emergency request for injunctive relief as a request for a preliminary injunction. Accordingly, Respondents shall file any opposition to Petitioner's request for injunctive relief by December 11, 2025. Petitioner may file a reply, if any, by December 17, 2025. The Clerk of the Court SHALL serve a copy of this Order along with a copy of Petitioner's Petition (ECF No. 1 ), on the Office of the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California. In the meantime, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (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").

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 12/8/2025: Petitioner's motion for the appointment of counsel, (ECF No. 3 ), will also be granted. In light of the complexity of the legal issues involved, the Court has determined that the interests of justice require the appointment of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B); see also Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983). Within seven (7) days of this Order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify counsel and send counsel's contact information to mkrueger@caed.uscourts.gov, and counsel will be added as counsel for Petitioner. If counsel is not a member of the Eastern District of California Criminal Justice Act Panel ("CJA"), within seven (7) days of this Order the Federal Defender shall file a motion to appoint counsel as CJA counsel pro hac vice. The Clerk of Court shall serve a copy of this order together with a copy of Petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on the Federal Defender, Attention: Habeas Appointment.
