ORDER APPOINTING COUNSEL by Magistrate Judge A. Joel Richlin 4 . There is no absolute right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d 453, 460 (9th Cir. 1996). Here, the Weygandt factors sufficiently support the appointment of counsel to represent Petitioner. Therefore, pursuant to the Court's order referring this case to Office of the Federal Public Defender ("FPDO") for the consideration of appointment of counsel (Dkt. 18 ), and the FPDO's subsequent Notice Re: Appointment of Counsel (Dkt. 21 ), the Court appoints the following attorney to represent Petitioner in this immigration habeas case. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B) (authorizing appointment for persons seeking relief under section 2241). Galina Dorris (Bar No. 365131). This appointment order shall issue nunc pro tunc to the date of the FPDO's Notice Re: Appointment of Counsel, October 14, 2026. Counsel shall file a notice of appearance in this case by no later than October 20, 2026. IT IS SO ORDERED. (SEE ORDER FOR FURTHER DETAILS.) (lkr) (Entered: 10/16/2026)
