This is a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 immigration habeas action. Petitioner has filed a motion to

15

appoint counsel. Dkt. 5. Having considered petitioner’s request, his financial eligibility, and the

16

balance of the record, the Court finds and ORDERS:

17

(1)

The Court is in receipt of a letter from the Federal Public Defender’s Office

18

indicating that this case falls within the class of cases potentially governed by Zadvydas v. Davis,

19

533 U.S. 678 (2001). Because of the complex issues involved in this case, the interests of justice

20

require that counsel be appointed for petitioner. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B). As required

21

by statute, petitioner has demonstrated that he is financially eligible for such appointment. See

22

id. Accordingly, petitioner’s request for appointment of counsel, Dkt. 5, is GRANTED. The
