EO: After reviewing the petition for writ of habeas corpus, Dkt. No. 1, and motion for temporary restraining order, Dkt. No. 4, the court has concluded that this case would benefit from the appointment of counsel. Petitioner's motion for appointment of counsel, Dkt. No. 3, is therefore GRANTED. Within seven days from the date of this order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify counsel and send counsel's contact information to Smith_Orders@hid.uscourts.gov, and the Clerk's Office shall update the docket to reflect counsel's appointment. If the appointing authority in unable to identify counsel before this seven-day period ends, they may notify the court and seek a reasonable extension of time to do so. Within fourteen days of appointment of counsel, Petitioner may either file an amended petition or supplement the original petition for writ of habeas corpus, Dkt. No. 1, and motion for temporary restraining order, Dkt. No. 4 . After counsel is appointed and any amended petition or supplement is filed, the court may set a briefing schedule. Given the court's ongoing consideration of the this matter, unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that Respondent shall not transfer or otherwise take Petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). IT IS SO ORDERED. (JUDGE MICAH W.J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 10/20/2026)
