TEXT ORDER: The Emergency Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus before the Court asserts Petitioner is currently detained at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility in Massachusetts. ECF No. 1 ¶ 15. As such, the District of Rhode Island does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate this petition. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 443 (2004) ("The plain language of the habeas statute... confirms the general rule that for core habeas petitions challenging present physical confinement, jurisdiction lies in only one district: the district of confinement."); Thompson v. Barr, 959 F.3d 476, 491 (1st Cir. 2020) (transferring a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 to the district where petitioner was confined). This case shall be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in Boston. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 1/20/2026. (Simoncelli, Michael)
