ORDER
Calvin L. Moore, who is detained at the Macon State prison in
Oglethorpe, Georgia, attacks a Tift County conviction and sentence for
murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
2254. Doc. 1. Federal law, however, only permits filing state habeas
petitions in the district of conviction or confinement. 28 U.S.C. §
2241(d); Wright v. Indiana, 263 F. App'x 794, 795 (11th Cir. 2008).
Moore is neither detained in this district nor is he attacking a local
conviction or sentence. Both Tift and Macon counties lie within the
Middle District of Georgia's jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 90. Since his case
lacks any tie to this District, the Clerk is DIRECTED to transfer it to
the Middle District for all further proceedings.
Lf
SO ORDERED, this? day of September, 2015.
