UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PLAINTIFF v. LORI JO STILLEY DEFENDANT
OPINION AND ORDER
P.K. HOLMES, III U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
Defendant Lori Jo Stilley has filed a motion (Doc. 40) for early termination of her supervised release, and the Government has filed a response (Doc. 42) in opposition. This Court transferred jurisdiction of Ms. Stilley's supervision to the Eastern District of Arkansas on March 7, 2023, and “expressly consent[ed] that the period of . . . supervised release may be changed by the District Court to which this transfer is made without further inquiry of this Court.” See Doc. 38. Accordingly, this Court must deny Ms. Stilley's motion because it no longer has jurisdiction over her case. See, e.g., United States v. Clark, 405 Fed. App'x 89 (8th Cir. 2010). If Ms. Stilley wishes to pursue her motion further, she will need to re-file it in the Eastern District of Arkansas, Case No. 4:23-cr-00067, which is the transfer case that was opened for her in that district. That Court will have jurisdiction to consider her motion on the merits and to grant her request if it deems such relief appropriate.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Ms. Stilley's motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for lack of jurisdiction.
IT IS SO ORDERED
