MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Edward J Davila on 10/6/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. The issues raised therein appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases: Simon v. Warden, Cent. Valley Annex, No. 1:26-CV-05030 (EJD), 2026 WL 1992936 (E.D. Cal. July 9, 2026); Perez v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-CV-06458 (EJD), 2026 WL 2836753 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 22, 2026); Dieu v. Warden of the California Cty. Det. Facility, No. 1:26-CV-04764 (EJD), 2026 WL 2365346 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 14, 2026); Labrador v. Blanche, No. 1:26-CV-06374 (EJD), 2026 WL 2409428 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 17, 2026). As such, by 10/20/26, Respondents are ordered to show cause as to whether there are any factual or legal issues that render the Petition distinct from the cases listed above and would justify denial of the Petition. Petitioner may file a reply by 10/27/2026. Respondents are PROHIBITED from removing Petitioner from the Eastern District of California while the Petition is pending. The Court finds this case would benefit from the appointment of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B). Within 7 calendar 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 via email to julia_thomas@CAND.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 ("CJA") Panel, the Court hereby authorizes the appointee to serve as CJA counsel for Petitioner for the duration of the proceedings in this Court pursuant to Local Rule 180(b)(1). If counsel is not admitted to practice before the Eastern District of California court, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3005 and 3006A and this District's CJA Plan, General Order 671, § XV.C.1.g as applied here, the Court hereby authorizes said counsel's Pro Hac Vice admission to practice before this court for the duration of the proceedings, nunc pro tunc to the date the appointing authority first contacted counsel about this appointment. The Clerk of the Court SHALL SERVE a copy of this Order on the Federal Defender, Attention: Habeas Appointment. The Clerk shall also serve a copy of the 1 Petition upon the Federal Defender.
