Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:
Jerome McFadden has filed a petition for an original
writ of habeas corpus, claiming that his due process rights were
violated because his trial counsel was ineffective.
ordinarily

declines

to

entertain

an

original

This court

habeas

petition

filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006), and this case provides no
reason to depart from this general rule.

Moreover, we find that

the interests of justice would not be served by transferring the
matter to the appropriate district court.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1631

(2006); Fed. R. App. P. 22(a).
Accordingly, we deny McFadden’s motion to be released
on

his

own

recognizance

pending

consideration

of

his

habeas

corpus petition, deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and
dismiss the § 2241 petition.

We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before this court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
