TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed Respondents' letter requesting dismissal or transfer of this action for lack of jurisdiction. (ECF No. 4.) Respondents represent that Petitioner was transferred from the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey, to Winn Correctional Center in Winnfield, Louisiana, on October 18, 2026, before the Petition was filed with this Court on October 19, 2026. Accordingly, because Petitioner was confined in Louisiana when the Petition was filed, this Court lacks jurisdiction over the Petition. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 442-47 (2004). In the interest of justice, the Court finds that transfer, rather than dismissal, is appropriate pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Accordingly, this action is hereby TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, the district in which Petitioner is presently confined. The Court's October 19, 2026 Text Order (ECF No. 2) is hereby VACATED. The Clerk of Court shall transfer this action to the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana and CLOSE the case in this District. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on October 23, 2026. (Williams, Karen) [Transferred from New Jersey on 10/26/2026.] (Entered: 10/23/2026)
