UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 DAVID BETANCOURT GOMEZ, No. 1:25-cv-1866 DC AC Petitioner, v. ORDER NOEM, Respondents. 16 Petitioner, an immigration detainee who is representing themself, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Examination of the in forma pauperis application reveals that petitioner is unable to afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The court has conducted a preliminary review of the petition pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Habeas Corpus Cases Under Section 2254. In light of the complexity of the legal issues involved and the duration of petitioner’s detention, the court has determined that the interests of justice require the appointment of counsel for petitioner. See 18 U.S.C.
