CLERK'S JUDGMENT. IT IS SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that judgment before the Court is Petitioner Yovanny Alexis Chacin-Castillo's Writ for Petition of Habeas Corpus. The Petition was originally filed in the Western District of Washington, but on September 21, 2026, it was transferred to this District on the basis that Petitioner is detained within this district, at the Imperial Regional Detention Facility. Petitioner now notifies the Court that after the transfer, he had filed another petition in front of this court that is currently pending in front of Judge Bencivengo which was filed on September 14, 2026, before this case was transferred to this District, and is now fully briefed. Accordingly, Petitioner seeks to dismiss this case and pursue his claims in his other fully-briefed case. Good cause appearing the Court GRANTS the motion to dismiss. The case is hereby closed.
