ENDORSED ORDER. Before the Court is Petitioner Phong Tan Lam's second Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1). United States District Judge Kyle C. Dudek denied Lam's first petition in M.D. Fla.

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.
