TEXT ORDER: Petitioner seeks federal habeas relief, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, challenging his unlawful custody at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility ("BFDF"). "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) (citations omitted); see Ozturk v. Hyde, 136 F.4th 382, 390 (2d Cir. 2025). BFDF is located in Batavia, Genesee County, New York, in the Western District of New York ("Western District"). See 28 U.S.C. § 112(d). When ordered to show cause as to why venue may be proper in this Court, see Dkt. No. 3, Petitioner did not respond. On February 13, 2026, Respondents filed a letter confirming that Petitioner is detained in Batavia and has been detained there since November 2025, making venue in the Western District appropriate. See Dkt. No. 5. Consequently, the action shall be transferred to the Western District. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1404, 1406(a). 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 the Honorable Mae A. DAgostino, U.S. District Judge on 2/13/2026.(meb) [Transferred from nynd on 2/13/2026.] (Entered: 02/13/2026)
