14

Omar Qazi, a federal pretrial detainee, has filed a pro se habeas corpus petition

15

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1). He states that he is in federal custody

16

pending trial in case no. 2:15-cr-00014-APG-VCF. Qazi states that he seeks to

17

challenge the March 5, 2015 detention order in his criminal case (2:15-cr-00014-APG-

18

VCF, ECF No. 14). The docket in the criminal case reflects that he has counsel. Qazi

19

must challenge the detention order in his underlying criminal case. Accordingly, this

20

petition is dismissed for failure to state a claim for which relief may be granted.

21

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the petition is DISMISSED.

22

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is DENIED.

23

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly and

24

close this case.
