STANLEY DERRICK RAGIN III, Petitioner, v. MAYES COUNTY COURTS, Respondent.
OPINION AND ORDER
RONALD A. WHITE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Now before the Court is Petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. It, however, has come to the Court's attention that Petitioner was convicted in Mayes County, Oklahoma, which is located within the territorial jurisdiction of the Northern District of Oklahoma. See 28 U.S.C. § 116(a). Therefore, in the furtherance of justice, this matter may be more properly addressed in that district.
Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d), Petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus is hereby transferred to the Northern District of Oklahoma for all further proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
