ORDER TRANSFERRING MATTER TO THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA. The Clerk shall IMMEDIATELY transfer this case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia for all further proceedings.

Because Petitioner has already filed a motion for TRO in the Middle District of Georgia, see Nguyen v. Streeval et al., 4:26-cv-00716-CDL-AGH, Dkt. No. 2, the motion for TRO before this Court (Dkt. No. 1 ) is DENIED without prejudice. All other pending motions (see Dkt. No. 15 ) are DENIED as moot. Signed by U.S. District Judge David G Estudillo.
