UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
JAIME LUEVANO,

Case No. 15-CV-0477 (SRN/FLN)
Petitioner,

v.

ORDER

HILLARY R. CLINTON, Ex Secretary of
State; U.S. TEXAS JUDGES; STATE TEX.
JUDGES; and HIGH RANK U.S.
CONGRESS OFFICIALS,
Respondents.

Petitioner Jaime Luevano — a prisoner incarcerated in Kenedy, Texas — has filed a
petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See ECF No. 1. This Court
has no authority to grant Luevano the relief he seeks, however, as he is not incarcerated in this
District, but instead at a Texas state prison located in the Western District of Texas. See 28
U.S.C. § 2241(a). Indeed, this District appears to have no relation whatsoever to Luevano’s
ongoing detention. Accordingly, the Court orders that this action be transferred to the United
States District Court for the Western District of Texas for further consideration by a court of that
district. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) (“The district court of a district in which is filed a case laying
venue in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, transfer
such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought.”).

ORDER
Based on the foregoing, and on all of the files, records, and proceedings herein, IT IS
HEREBY ORDERED that this action be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for
the Western District of Texas pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).

Dated: February 23 , 2015
