IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
Israel Nava Arellano,
Petitioner,
v.
David R. Rivas,
Respondent.
No. CV-25-02887-PHX-JAT (ASB)
ORDER
Self-represented Petitioner Israel Nava Arellano, who is confined in the San Luis
Regional Detention Center, has filed a Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal Custody (Doc. 1), an Application to Proceed In
Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2), and a Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. 3). Upon review,
Petitioner’s claims in the instant case are duplicative of the claims in another pending case,
Arellano v. Rivas et al., CV-25-03397-PHX-JAT (ASB). The Court has appointed counsel
to represent Petitioner in CV-25-03397 and given counsel 30 days to file an amended
petition in that case. The Court will therefore dismiss the Petition and this case as
duplicative.
IT IS ORDERED:
(1) Petitioner’s Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and this case are
dismissed without prejudice.
(2) Petitioner’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2) is denied as
moot.
(3) Petitioner’s Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. 3) is denied as moot.
