MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Miranda M. Du on 1/6/2026. Petitioner Victor Hugo Quintana Chagolla filed an Ex Parte Motion for Appointment of Counsel on December 29, 2025 (ECF No. 11 (Motion).) The Court already sua sponte appointed Petitioner counsel on December 23. (ECF No. 9.) Assistant Federal Public Defender Laura Barrera filed a notice of appearance on December 30. (ECF No. 10 .) The Court therefore denies Petitioner's Motion (ECF No. 11 ) as moot. (no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - KW) (Entered: 01/06/2026)

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Miranda M. Du on 2/17/2026. By Deputy Clerk: Karen Walker.The parties do not dispute that Petitioner retained counsel for his initial bond hearing on May 13, 2025, that his counsel did not appear, and that the Immigration Judge ("IJ") proceeded with the bond hearing regardless. (ECF Nos. 1 -1 at 3, 13 at 3-4, 17 at 2.) It is not clear from the provided factual record whether the IJ may have abused her discretion by violating Petitioner's statutory right to counsel. See 8 U.S.C § 1362; Hernandez-Gil v. Gonzales, 476 F.3d 803, 808 (9th Cir. 2007). In executing its habeas corpus jurisdiction, the Court shall "summarily hear and determine the facts" including by fashioning "methods for securing facts where necessary." Harris v. Nelson, 394 U.S. 286, 299 (1969) (quoting 28 U.S.C. § 2243). The Court therefore orders Respondents to provide the Court and Petitioner with a transcript or recording of Petitioner's initial bond hearing by noon on Friday, February 20, 2026. See Martinez v. Clark, 124 F.4th 775, 786 (9th Cir. 2024) ("Due process requires immigration courts to make contemporaneous records of bond hearings." (citing Singh v. Holder, 638 F.3d 1196, 1200 (2011))).
