RASHAAN INGRAM, Petitioner, v. AMY LAMANNA, Superintendent, Five Points Correctional Facility, Respondent.
TRANSFER ORDER
LASHANN DEARCY HALL, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pro se petitioner Rashaan Ingram, currently incarcerated at Five Points Correctional Facility in Romulus New York, brings the instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his May 18, 2013 Dutchess County Criminal Court conviction. Because petitioner is challenging a Dutchess County, New York conviction, the Clerk of Court is directed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. That provision of Rule 83.1 of the Local Rules of the Eastern District of New York which requires a seven day delay is waived. The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail a copy of this Order to the Petitioner and to close this case.
See 28 U.S.C. § 112(b) (“The Southern District comprises the counties of Bronx, Dutchess, New York, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, and Westchester and concurrently with the Eastern District, the waters within the Eastern District.”)
SO ORDERED.
