TEXT ORDER: It does not appear that the Petitioner was detained within this District when the petition was filed. See Respondents' July 29, 2026 Letter (ECF 6) at 1; Respondents' July 31, 2026 Letter (ECF 8) at 2. So the Court may not have jurisdiction. See Khalil v. Joyce, 777 F. Supp. 3d 369, 393-96 (D.N.J. 2025). In light of the above, the Court is inclined to transfer this case to the Eastern District of New York. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631 (empowering district courts to transfer civil cases to courts in which they could have been filed to address jurisdictional defects). Any party objecting to this proposed course of action shall file a short letter brief on or before August 4 at 5:00pm. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 8/3/26. (ro, ) [Transferred from New Jersey on 8/6/2026.] (Entered: 08/03/2026)
