Accordingly, in the interests of justice, the clerk's office is ORDERED to TRANSFER this action to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Petitioner is directed to file all further pleadings in the Eastern District once he is advised of his new case number. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 9/16/2026.
