MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan on 6/25/2026 GRANTING 2 Motion for IFP and DEFERRING the ruling on 3 Motion for Appointment of Counsel. Respondent is DIRECTED to show cause why the writ should not be granted by filing an answer/return within fourteen (14) days from the date of this order. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243.
