IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHEW FEI CHIN, No. 2:15-CV-2397-JAM-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

TIMOTHY AIKEN, et al.,

Respondents.

 /

Petitioner, who is proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging his continued custody pending removal. 

Respondents have appeared in the action (see Doc. 12). Pending before the court is petitioner’s

petition (Doc. 1). Also before the court are petitioner’s motion for the appointment of counsel

(Doc. 2) and petitioner’s motion for a briefing schedule (Doc. 13). 

Petitioner’s claim is cognizable. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001). 

Respondents will be directed to file a response to the petition and a briefing schedule will be set. 

Petitioner’s motion for the appointment of counsel, however, will be denied because, at this 

stage of the proceedings, the court cannot say that exceptional circumstances exist. See 18

U.S.C. § 2006A(a)(2)(B).
