TEXT ORDER: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's application for appointment of counsel and motion to expedite. (ECF Nos. 5, 8 .) In light of Petitioner's application and the "unusual legal question[s]" presented by Petitioner's "unique immigration status," the Court concludes that under 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(2), "the interests of justice so require" Petitioner's appointment of Alison Brill, FPD as counsel. Thus, ECF No. 5 is GRANTED. Moreover, Petitioner's motion to expedite is GRANTED IN PART. (ECF No. 8 .) Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why Petitioner's writ should not be granted. However, because of the underlying legal questions presented, the Court concludes that "good cause" exists to grant Respondents "additional time" to respond to this Order. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Accordingly, Respondent shall file a response to the Petition within seven (7) days of this Text Order, and Petitioner shall file any reply within seven (7) days of that response. The Clerk is directed to close the motion pending at ECF No. 8 . So Ordered by Judge Robert Kirsch on 08/06/2026. (pdm) (Entered: 08/06/2026)
