Date Filed Document Text
April 16, 2020 Received e-mail from the United States District Court - District of New Jersey acknowledging receipt of transferred case. Assigned Case Number: 2:20-cv-04361, filed on 04/16/2020. (sjo)
April 16, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER: On April 15, 2020, Petitioner filed a petition for habeas corpus. Dkt No. 1. Because the petition asserts only a single "core" habeas claim, it is properly heard only in the petitioner's district of confinement. See Order to Show Cause, Torres Martinez v. Decker, No. 19 Civ. 8727 (GHW) (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 2, 2019), Dkt No. 7; Benitez v. An Unknown Immigration Officer Employed by the Department of Homeland Security, No. 19 Civ. 3153 (GHW) (S.D.N.Y. May 6, 2019), Dkt No. 3; see also Arriaga Reyes v. Decker, No. 20 Civ. 2737 (PAE) (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 2, 2020), Dkt No. 4, at 3 (collecting cases). Petitioner is currently detained in the Bergen County Jail in New Jersey, Dkt No. 1 paragraph 1, which is located in the judicial district of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. See 28 U.S.C. 110. For the reasons set forth in the Court's prior orders in Torres Martinez and Benitez and in accord with the weight of authority in this District, the Court holds sua sponte that it lacks venue over Petitioner's core habeas claim. The Court therefore transfers this case to the District of New Jersey forthwith and without delay. The Clerk of Court is further directed to terminate all pending motions, adjourn all remaining dates, and to close this case. In light of the need for urgent judicial attention to petitioners' claims, the Court waives the seven-day period provided in Local Civil Rule 83.1 to effectuate a transfer to a different district. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 4/16/2020) (mro)
