District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. This action began with the filing of a habeas petition shortly before 5 PM on Sunday, June 14, 2026. Doc. No. 1. Within minutes, an emergency order staying the petitioner’s transfer out of Massachusetts issued. Doc. No. 2. About an hour and a half later, the respondents notified the Court pursuant to that emergency order that the petitioner had been transferred to a detention facility located in New Hampshire, having left Massachusetts and arrived in New Hampshire before the petition was filed. Doc. No. 3. The petitioner has not disputed the timing of her move to New Hampshire, though she has urged the Court to find it nevertheless has jurisdiction to resolve the petition based on her lawyer’s inability to learn of her location before filing this action. See Doc. Nos. 4, 12, 13. The respondents urge the Court to transfer the matter to New Hampshire, where the petitioner and her immediate custodian are located now and were located at the time of filing. See Doc. No. 10. Having carefully considered the parties’ competing positions regarding jurisdiction, the Court finds the circumstances presented do not warrant departing from the default rule that a habeas petition must be filed in the district where the petitioner is confined at the time of filing. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that this action shall be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. The Court notes that the merits of the petition are fully briefed and ripe for resolution, and the petitioner’s papers advance meaningful equitable arguments that merit expedited consideration, upon transfer.
