ORDER on Petitioner's 1 Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. The Court orders:(1) The Court DENIES the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, Dkt. No. 1, WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Within FOURTEEN (14) days of this Order, Petitioner may file an amended petition explaining (1) why he is challenging his detention, (2) the facts that support his petition, and (3) his requested relief. If he does not file an amended petition by that date, the Court will close this case. (2) The Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the Motion for Appointment of Counsel, Dkt. No. 2 . The Court cannot weigh the strength of claims that have not been made, so the request is premature. Huerta Zuniga may renew it after he files an amended petition. (3) This order does not stay or otherwise restrict Huerta Zuniga's removal. The notice requirements in the Courts prior order, Dkt. No. 4, remain in effect. Signed by Judge Jamal N Whitehead.
