_________
The above-captioned petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 2254, challenges a judgment of conviction entered in the Superior Court of Fulton County,
which is located in the Northern District of Georgia. It is the practice of this Court to
transfer an action attacking a conviction to the District in which the original criminal
proceedings were conducted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Therefore, the Court ORDERS the
transfer of this action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
for further consideration. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to immediately forward the file to
that District.
SO ORDERED this 15th day of September, 2020, at Augusta, Georgia.
