ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK,
DISMISSING MOTION [3] TO APPOINT COUNSEL
This matter comes before the Court, sua sponte, for consideration of the transfer of this
cause. Carlos Peterson has submitted a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. '

resisting arrest on September 19, 2008, and he is currently incarcerated in the State of New York.

Therefore, in the interest of justice and judicial economy, it is ORDERED:
1) That this petition will be transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern
District of New York.
2) The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to so transfer the petition.
3) That in light of this order, Peterson’s motion [3] to appoint counsel is DISMISSED
without prejudice to his ability to re-urge it in New York’s federal courts.
4) That this case is CLOSED.
SO ORDERED, this the 8th day of October, 2014.
