(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER DENYING PETITIONER'S REQUEST FOR COURTESY EMAIL SERVICE TO ASSIST PRO SE DETAINED PETITIONER (DOC. NO. 13 ) by Magistrate Judge Daniel S. Roberts. On May 26, 2026, Petitioner (then representing himself) filed a Request that the Court and Respondents provide courtesy copies of filings in this case to a non-attorney individual who was assisting Petitioner in this case. See Doc. No. 13 . The purpose of the request was "to assist the pro se detained Petitioner with receiving and responding to court filings as quickly as possible." Id. Since Petitioner made that request, however, Jonathan Aminoff of the Federal Public Defender's Office has made an appearance as counsel of record for Petitioner in this case. See Doc. No. 20 . Since Petitioner is now represented by counsel, service of courtesy copies on the non-attorney who was previously assisting Petitioner file documents in this case is no longer necessary. Accordingly, Petitioner's Request for Courtesy Email Service is DENIED as moot. IT IS SO ORDERED. (lkr) (Entered: 07/17/2026)
