ORDER: Though petitioner resides in this District, it appears on the face of the petition that venue is proper in the Western District of New York. Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 447 (2004) ("Whenever a § 2241 habeas petitioner seeks to challenge his present physical custody within the United States, he should name his warden as respondent and file the petition in the district of confinement."). The Clerk of Court is therefore directed to transfer this action to the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). Rule 83.1 of the Local Rules of the Eastern District of New York, which contemplates a seven-day delay before the Clerk shall transfer a case from this district, is waived. Ordered by Judge Eric R. Komitee on 3/30/2026. (AZT) (Entered: 03/30/2026)
