CIVIL ACTION NO. M-17-343

ORDER DENYING THE DEFENDANT’S OBJECTION TO NOTICE OF TRANSFER
The plaintiff, Michael Habiniak, objects to the transfer of his case from the Southern District
of Texas to the Eastern District of Texas. (Docket Entry No. 46). Mr. Habiniak previously moved
that his case be assigned to a neutral Article III judge outside of the Southern District of Texas,
because his case named several judges and the Clerk of Court of the Southern District of Texas as
defendants.
The Southern District of Texas judges recused themselves from the case. The Chief Judges
from the Southern District of Texas and Eastern District of Texas jointly agreed that Mr. Habiniak’s
request be granted and that the case should be transferred and assigned to a district judge in the
Eastern District of Texas, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 295 and Southern District of Texas
General Order 2018-7, Section 30.A. The transfer was properly made. The objection, (Docket
Entry No. 46), is overruled.
SIGNED on May 15, 2018, at Houston, Texas.
