UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-1461 In Re: BRIAN WILLIAM SCHUMAKER, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Submitted: July 18, 2017 Decided: July 27, 2017 Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, MOTZ, Circuit Judge, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Brian William Schumaker, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Brian William Schumaker, a native and citizen of Canada and a federal prisoner, filed a petition for an original writ of habeas corpus. Schumaker seeks the immediate execution of his final order of removal so that he may be turned over to the custody of the Department of Homeland Security and removed to Canada now rather than at the conclusion of his federal sentence. This court ordinarily declines to entertain original habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), and this case provides no reason to depart from the general rule. Moreover, we find that the interest of justice would not be served by transferring the case to the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631 (2012). Accordingly, we deny Schumaker leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the petition. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DISMISSED 2
