March 18, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 6 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #5 Declaration filed by Maurice Hollis. ENDORSEMENT: Like my colleague in the Northern District, I have some trouble discerning the nature of Petitioner's application. It seems that he is now challenging the execution of his federal sentence, which challenge must be brought under 28 USC 2241 in the District where he is held, and which requires exhaustion of administrative remedies. Because Petitioner is not yet in federal custody as far as I can tell, I doubt he has exhausted. If Petitioner is really challenging the execution of his state sentence, that challenge must be brought under 28 USC 2254 (but he may be barred because of the dismissal of his previous petition). Either way, the case belongs in the Northern District of New York. Accordingly, with Petitioner's consent and in accordance with my 2/25/19 Order (Doc. 3 in 19-CV-1673), the petition under Section 2255 is hereby converted a petition under Section 2241 and transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to effectuate the transfer, terminate Doc. 213 in No. 15-CR-509, close No. 19-CV-1673, and send a copy of this endorsement to Petitioner. (Signed by Judge Cathy Seibel on 3/18/2019) (mro) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing. Transmission to Office of the Clerk of Court for processing.

February 26, 2019 Mailed a copy of #3 Order to Show Cause, to Maurice Hollis DIN No: 14R1219 Great Meadow Correctional Facility P.O. Box 51 Comstock, NY 12821-0051. (vba) [Transferred from New York Southern on 3/20/2019.]
February 25, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: The Court directs Hollis to show cause, by filing a declaration within thirty days of the date of this order, why this 2255 motion should not be recharacterized as a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2241 challenging the execution of his sentence in in United States v. Hollis, No. 15-CR-509-6 (CS) (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 20, 2016). No answer will be required at this time. Unless Petitioner withdraws the application or adequately explains why it should not be recharacterized, the Court will construe the application as a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 2241 and transfer it to the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York or another appropriate District. Because Petitioner has not at this time made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See 28 U.S.C. 2253. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). The Clerk shall send a copy of this Order to Petitioner. SO ORDERED.
