(HC) Casarez v. People of San Joaquin County

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 ENRIQUEZ CASAREZ, No. 2:22-cv-1115 DB P Petitioner, v. ORDER AND PEOPLE OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Respondent. 16 Petitioner, a pretrial detainee in custody at the San Joaquin County Jail, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Examination of the affidavit reveals petitioner is unable to afford the costs of this action. Leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Because petitioner is a pretrial detainee, the court construes the petition as being brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2241.1 I.
