Each of the Respondents are alleged to have deprived Petitioner of his constitutional rights during the state court criminal proceedings in Tarrant County, Texas. Pet., ECF No. 1 in toto. For the reasons that follow, this action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The determination of Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is reserved for the tran sferee court. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to transfer this action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). The Clerk of the Court is further directed to mail a copy of this Order to Petitioner and to mark this case closed. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith and therefore, should Plaintiff seek leave to appeal in forma pauperis, such status is denied for the purpose of any appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SEE ATTACHED ORDER for details. So Ordered by Judge Joan M. Azrack on 4/4/2024. (LC) Modified on 4/4/2024 (LC).
