Filing 3
Service and Appointment of Counsel Order It is therefore ordered that the IFP application (ECF No. #1 ) is granted. It is further ordered that the motion for appointment of counsel (ECF No. #1 -2) is granted. The Federal Public Defender for the District of Nevada is appointed to represent Petitioner and is directed to file a notice of appearance (or indicate its inability to represent Petitioner) within 7 days of the date of this Order. If the Federal Public Defender is unable to represent Petitioner, because of a conflict of interest or for any other reason, alternate counsel will be appointed. Appointed counsel will represent Petitioner in all federal proceedings related to this matter, including any appeals or certiorari proceedings, unless allowed to withdraw. It is further ordered that if the Federal Public Defender files a notice of appearance in this matter, it will then have 30 days to either (1) file an amended petition, or (2) a motion to dismiss the petition. The Federal Public Defender shall effectuate service of the amended petition on the respondents. It is further ordered that the petition (ECF No. #1 -1) is deferred. It is further ordered that the Clerk of Court: See Order for additional information. It is further ordered that the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Nevada file a notice of appearance within 7 days of the date of this order and file and serve their answer to the amended petition within 7 days of service of the counseled amended petition, unless additional time is allowed for good cause shown. The respondents must file any documents referenced or relied upon in their responsive pleading with that pleading. Petitioner will have 7 days to file a reply. It is further ordered that the parties must meet and confer regarding any requests for an extension of deadlines and stipulate to the extension if possible. Any motion for extension must certify efforts taken to meet and confer and indicate the opposing party's position regarding the extension. Any motion or stipulation must comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b) and Local Rules IA 6-1, 6-2. Moreover, I find that ordering Respondents to produce documents relevant to the lawfulness of the petitioner's detention is necessary for the Court to "dispose of the matter as law and justice require." See Harris v. Nelson, 394 U.S. 286, 290 (1969). Critically, a detained habeas petitioner "is usually handicapped in developing the evidence needed to support in necessary detail the facts alleged in his petition... and a habeas corpus proceeding must not be allowed to founder in a 'procedural morass.'" Id. at 29192 (citation omitted). I thus find good cause under Rule 6 of the Rules Governing 2254 Cases to order the federal respondents to produce relevant documents in their possession, custody, or control. Accordingly, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the federal respondents must PRODUCE the following documents to the petitioner's counsel by May 18, 2026: See Order for additional information. It is further ordered that the respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this District, with the exception of effectuating Petitioner's lawful deportation. In the event of lawful deportation, the respondents' counsel must file a notice with the court within 5 days from deportation. Signed by Chief Judge Andrew P. Gordon on 5/12/2026. Notice of Compliance is due by 5/18/2026. Attorney designation deadline: 5/19/2026. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF. A copy of the Petition (ECF No. #1 -1) and this Order distributed as instructed. - RJDG)
