January 4, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 19 OPINION AND ORDER. Because Singh was detained at the Bergen County Jail at the time he filed the Petition, this Court lacks jurisdiction over this case. Since the Petition should have been brought in the first instance in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, the Court finds that it is in the best interest of justice to transfer this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1406(a). Accordingly, Respondents' motion to transfer the case is GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to terminate all pending motions and transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. To ensure that Singh's habeas petition is heard in the proper forum without undue delay, this Court further finds that the seven-day waiting period in Local Civil Rule 83.1 should be waived, and this case should be promptly transferred.
