No. 4:16CV560 AGF

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Ezra Gramm’s motion to vacate, set aside, or correct
sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Movant is challenging his judgment and sentence in United
States v. Gramm, 6:12CR3079 DGK (W.D. Mo.). A Section 2255 motion must be filed in the
court that imposed the sentence. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(a). Therefore, this Court does not have
jurisdiction over the motion.
Because movant is a prisoner proceeding pro se, the Court finds that it is in the interest of
justice to transfer this action to the Western District to cure the want of jurisdiction. See 28
U.S.C. § 1631.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to TRANSFER this action to the
United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Springfield Division.
Dated this 25th day of April, 2016.

AUDREY G. FLEISSIG
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
