September 17, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 16 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #11 Letter, filed by Chad Wolf, Thomas Decker. ENDORSEMENT: The Government's motion to transfer is granted. "'District courts are limited to granting habeas relief 'within their respective jurisdictions.'" Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 442 (2004) (quoting 28 U.S.C. 2241(a)). [T]he general rule [is] that for core habeas petitions challenging present physical confinement," such as this one, "jurisdiction lies in only one district: the district of confinement." Id. at 443. "'[T]he district of confinement is synonymous with the district court that has territorial jurisdiction over the proper respondent,...i.e. 'the warden of the facility where petitioner is being held.'" Ali v. DHS/ICE/Dep't of Justice, No. 19 CIV. 8645 (LGS), 2020 WL 3057383, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. June 9, 2020) (quoting Padilla, 542 U.S. at 435, 444)). "'Although Padilla did not specifically address [this] rule in the immigration habeas context, and there is no direct Second Circuit authority on this issue, an overwhelming majority of courts in this District have applied Padilla's default rule to 'core' habeas challenges in the immigration context.'" Id. (quoting Darboe v. Ahrendt, No. 19 Civ. 11393, 2020 WL 1057502, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 2, 2020)). Here, because Petitioner is detained at the Bergen County Jail in New Jersey (Pet. (Dkt. No. 1) 8), the proper respondent is the warden of that facility and "jurisdiction is proper only in the district...with jurisdiction over the warden i.e. the District of Jersey. Ali, 2020 WL 3057383, at *2 (footnote omitted). Though Petitioner notes that she "was taken into custody in New York by ICE" and "had hearings in the Immigration Court in Batavia, New York and...[in] Manhattan" (Pet. Ltr. (Dkt. No. 15) at 1), "[j]urisdiction is determined by the location of Petitioners detention at the time of filing." Ali, 2020 WL 3057383, at *2. Here, at the time of filing, Petitioner was detained at the Bergen County Jail, making jurisdiction proper in the District of New Jersey. (Pet. (Dkt. No. 1) 8) For these reasons, the Government's motion to transfer (Dkt. No. 11) is granted and the Clerk of Court is directed to transfer this case to the District of New Jersey. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul G. Gardephe on 9/17/2020) (jca)
