Opinion
CASE NO. 1:08-cv-00132-MP-AK.
July 14, 2008
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter is before the Court on Doc. 1, Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, filed by Earl Butler. Petitioner has also filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 2.
Petitioner is currently incarcerated in Columbia County, Florida, and challenges his conviction from the Circuit Court of Seminole County, Florida. Doc. 1. Jurisdiction is therefore appropriate in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, as the district of confinement and conviction. 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Under no circumstances is this cause properly pending in this district.
It is therefore respectfully RECOMMENDED that this case be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida for all further proceedings.
IN CHAMBERS at Gainesville, Florida.
