Opinion
Criminal No. 09-248.
August 27, 2009
ORDER
AND NOW, this 27th day of August, 2009, upon consideration of Defendant's pro se Motion to Transfer Case to U.S. District Court of Springfield, Massachusetts (Document No. 9) filed in the above captioned matter on August 27, 2009,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that said Motion is DENIED. Although the defendant has stated in writing that he wishes to plead guilty to the charge set forth in the above captioned matter and waives trial in this district, and has consented to the court's disposing of the case in the transferee district (see Fed.R.Crim.P. 20(a)), the United States attorneys in both districts have not approved the requested transfer in writing. See Fed.R.Crim.P. 20(b). Therefore, the Court has no authority to transfer this case.
