Respondent.

CAUSE NO. 1:17-CV-036-PPS-SLC

OPINION AND ORDER
Bobbie Jo Carter, a pro se prisoner, housed at the Indiana Women’s Prison, filed a
habeas corpus petition challenging a disciplinary proceeding that was conducted by a
Disciplinary Hearing Officer (DHO) at that facility, which is located in the geographical
boundaries of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. [DE
1.] Because Carter was found guilty at—and is still housed in—a prison located within
the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana,
this case should have been brought there. “[I]n the interests of justice, a district court
may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been
brought.” 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).
For these reasons, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Indiana.
SO ORDERED.
ENTERED: February 1, 2017
