This matter is before the Court on petitioner's 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The Court will transfer this

entered an administrative order stating that, absent any unusual circumstances, any habeas petition
challenging a conviction or sentence arising out of a proceeding in the Western District of Missouri
should be transferred to that district. In re Business of the Court, January 27, 1986. As a result, the
