Opinion
NO. 7:11-cv-56 (HL).
June 3, 2011
ORDER
Petitioner ALI A. MORSI, an alien detainee at the Irwin County Detention Center, has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging his "unlawful detention." A review of Court records reveals that on May 26, 2011, Magistrate Judge Gerrilyn G. Brill of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia transferred to this Court a nearly identical habeas action. See Morsi v. Holder , 7:11-CV-67 (HL) (" Morsi I "). Magistrate Judge Thomas Q. Langstaff of this Court ordered service in Morsi I on May 27, 2011.
Because the instant petition is duplicative of Morsi I , it is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to refund the $5.00 filing fee paid by Petitioner received in connection with this action.
