MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan on 9/4/2026: The Office of the Federal Defender contacted the Court with concerns about the status of Petitioner's removal proceedings. The Court sua sponte appoints Petitioner counsel in the interests of justice for the limited purpose of determining the status of any appeal of the August 12, 2026 immigration judge's order of removal and the impact of any such appeal on Petitioner's habeas claims. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B); see also Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983). The Court hereby appoints the Federal Defender to represent Petitioner for this limited purpose. The parties are ordered to submit simultaneous briefs, along with any relevant evidence, within 7 days from the date of this order, which shall address whether the Court's August 17, 2026 Minute Order lifting the no-transfer provision in this case should be reconsidered and whether any appeal affects Petitioner's substantive habeas claims. ECF No. 10 . The appointment of counsel shall automatically expire upon the filing of Petitioner's brief. A copy of this order shall be electronically served on the Office of the Federal Defender.
