ENDORSED ORDER. Before the Court is Petitioner Raul Martinez-Gonzalez's second Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1). United States District Judge Kyle C.

Per Middle District of Florida Local Rule 1.07(a)(2)(A), this related, later-filed action is transferred to the Honorable Kyle C. Dudek, with his consent, for all further purposes. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to REASSIGN this case to United States District Judge Kyle C. Dudek. Signed by Judge Sheri Polster Chappell on 5/29/2026. (NMC) (Entered: 05/29/2026)
