District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered.The respondents’ submissions (Doc. Nos. 7, 8) describe the petitioner’s movement out of Massachusetts before the filing of the petition, to Louisiana for a brief period, then to a detention facility in Missouri. The respondents propose transferring this matter to the Western District of Louisiana, where the petitioner was located at the time the petition was filed. The petitioner has not taken a position on whether or where the Court should transfer this action. Because the petitioner was in Louisiana only temporarily, the Court intends to transfer this action to the Western District of Missouri—the federal court having jurisdiction over the petitioner’s present immediate custodian—unless any party objects to such a transfer before 6 PM on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.
