EDDIE L. FOSTER, Petitioner, v. GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS and STATE OF GEORGIA, Respondents.
ORDER
BRIAN K. EPPS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The above-captioned petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenges a judgment of conviction entered in the Superior Court of DeKalb County, which is located in the Northern District of Georgia. It is the practice of this Court to transfer an action attacking a conviction to the District in which the original criminal proceedings were conducted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Therefore, the Court ORDERS the transfer of this action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia for further consideration and DIRECTS the Clerk to immediately forward the file to that District.
Petitioner should be aware that future filings in this case, including the response to the August 3, 2023 deficiency notice, should be made with the Clerk, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia, 2211 U.S. Courthouse, 75 Ted Turner Drive, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
SO ORDERED
