The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to transfer this action in accordance with this Order and close this case. When doing so, it is further ordered that the seven-day waiting period in Local Civil Rule 83.1 shall be waived. Petitioner shall not be transferred outside the Middle District of Georgia without further order from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. Ordered by Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall on 9/30/2026. (CG) [Transferred from nyed on 10/1/2026.]
