MEMORANDUM OPINION REGARDING VENUE
Petitioner William Danny Prudhomme, an inmate confined in
the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Worth, Texas ("FCIFort Worth"), proceeding pro se, filed what the court has construed as a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2241.

Petitioner seeks credit towards his federal

sentence for time spent in state custody following a parole
violation.
A petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to
Section 2241 must filed in the federal judicial district in which
the petitioner is in-0carcerated. United States v. Gabor, 905
F.2d 76 (5th Cir. 1990).
FCI-Fort Worth is located in the Fort Worth Division of the
Northern District of Texas.

As petitioner is not confined within

the Eastern District of Texas, this court lacks jurisdiction over
his petition and may not adjudicate his claim.

Accordingly, this

petition will be transferred to the Fort Worth Division of the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

A Transfer Order shall be entered in accordance with this Memorandum Opinion.
