Defendant Dan Murphy has requested that the matter be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, the judicial district of his residence. See Clerk's Notice of Post-Judgment Garnishment and Instructions to Judgment Debtor [Doc. # 796, filed 2/14/06], at p. 3. The United States does not oppose the transfer.

The United States concedes that the defendant's request was timely made. See United States' Response to Defendant's Request That This Matter Be Transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland [Doc. # 807, filed 6/2/06], at ¶ 11.
Accordingly:
