MINUTES (In Chambers) Order Referring Case to the Federal Public Defender to Consider Appointment of Counsel by Judge Kenly Kiya Kato. Here, the Weygandt factors sufficiently support the appointment of counsel to represent Petitioner. The Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Central District of California ("FPD") has indicated that it will review requests for appointment of counsel to represent pro se petitioners in immigration-related habeas corpus proceedings such as this one. Accordingly, the Court REFERS this case to the FPD for consideration of appointment of counsel for Petitioner. The FPD is ORDERED to file a response within seven (7) days of this order, indicating whether the FPD will represent Petitioner in this matter, decline representation in this matter, or recommend appointment of CJA counsel. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve a copy of this order on the FPD. (See document for further information). (aco) [Transferred from California Central on 8/27/2026.] (Entered: 07/29/2026)

MINUTES (In Chambers) Order Denying Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order [Dkt. 7] by Judge Kenly Kiya Kato. While the Court makes no finding as to the appropriateness of emergency relief in other cases, under the circumstances of the instant case, Petitioner cannot demonstrate the requisite basis for emergency relief because the alleged harm is already addressed through the expedited adjudication of the underlying habeas petition. Thus, the Court concludes Petitioner is not entitled to ex parte relief, and the Motion is DENIED without prejudice. Further proceedings on the merits of the Petition are referred to the Magistrate Judge. Any objections to Report and Recommendations issued by the Magistrate Judge shall be filed no later than three (3) days from the date of the Report and Recommendation. (See document for further information).; denying 7 MOTION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION. (aco) [Transferred from California Central on 8/27/2026.] (Entered: 07/29/2026)
