FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS (Text Only): Petitioner has filed a 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Because the Petition is duplicative of a Petition filed in 1:26-cv-06300 DC CKD P, the court will recommend that the Petition be dismissed. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's 2 Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is GRANTED, Petitioner's 3 Motion for the Appointment of Counsel is DENIED and IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that the 1 Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus be DISMISSED. These Findings and Recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 14 (fourteen) days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any response to the objections shall be filed and served within 14 (fourteen) days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 9/14/2026: Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the court finds that these actions, Case No. 1:26-cv-06300-DC-CKD and 1:26-cv-07033-DAD-CKD, are related because both cases involve overlapping parties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Thus, the court ORDERS that Case No. 1:26-cv-07033-DAD-CKD is REASSIGNED to U.S. District Judge Dena M. Coggins and Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney. All future filings shall reflect the judge reassignment and use Case No. 1:26-cv-07033-DC-CKD. (Text Only Entry) (cc: DC; Operations Supervisor-Sacramento) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 09/14/2026)
