NO. 4:24-CV-00008-CDL-MSH

ORDER
Presently pending before the Court are a motion to transfer the above-captioned
action back to Columbus (ECF No. 6) and an amended petition for writ of habeas corpus
(ECF No. 7) filed by Petitioner Fabian Woods, Jr., an inmate currently confined in the
Rutledge State Prison in Columbus, Georgia. The Court transferred this action to the
Northern District of Georgia on January 17, 2024 (ECF No. 4), and the case was closed
in this district on the same date. Because this action is no longer pending in this Court,
the Court will not consider Petitioner’s most recent filings, and Petitioner’s motion to
transfer (ECF No. 6) is DENIED as moot. All future documents related to Petitioner’s
federal habeas corpus petition challenging his 2022 Clayton County conviction for
aggravated assault should be filed in the Northern District of Georgia.
The Clerk is DIRECTED to mail a copy of Petitioner’s motion (ECF No. 6) and
the Amended Petition (ECF No. 7) to the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division,
where Petitioner’s petition challenging his 2022 Clayton County conviction is currently
pending. If Petitioner files any additional motions in the above-captioned case in this

Court moving forward, the Clerk is DIRECTED to docket them as notices, and the Court
will take no further action on those filings.
SO ORDERED, this 6th day of February, 2024.
