TEXT ORDER: Petitioner seeks federal habeas relief, pursuant to § 28 U.S.C. 2241, challenging his unlawful custody in Orange County Correctional Facility. "Whenever a § 2241 habeas petitioner seeks to challenge his present physical custody within the United States, he should... file the petition in the district of confinement." Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 447 (2004). Orange County Correctional Facility is located in Orange County, New York, in the Southern District of New York ("Southern District"). See 28 U.S.C. § 112(b). Consequently, the action shall be transferred to the Southern District and, given the significant liberty interests at stake and the time-sensitivity of petitioner's claims, this Court waives the seven-day waiting period customarily afforded under the Local Rules and respectfully directs the Clerk to effectuate the transfer as soon as possible. SO ORDERED by Magistrate Judge Therese Wiley Dancks on January 28, 2026. {text order served via regular mail on petitioner}(nas) (Entered: 01/28/2026)
