Director, TDCJ-CID **Transferred to Texarkana Div** Doc. 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS BEAUMONT DIVISION JAMES MICHAEL JONES § VS. § DIRECTOR, TDCJ-CID § CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:24cv333 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER REGARDING VENUE Petitioner James Michael Jones, proceeding pro se, filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges a conviction in Franklin County, Texas. Discussion Petitioner filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus in the federal judicial district where he was convicted. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d), a petitioner may bring his petition for writ of habeas corpus in the federal judicial district in which he was convicted or the district in which he is incarcerated. As petitioner was convicted in this district, this court has jurisdiction over the petition. However, while Franklin County is located within the Eastern District of Texas, it is in the Texarkana Division, rather than the Beaumont Division. As a result, this case should be transferred to the Texarkana Division of this court. ORDER For the reasons set forth above, it is ORDERED that this petition for writ of habeas corpus is TRANSFERRED to the Texarkana Division of this court. SIGNED this 26th day of August, 2024. _________________________ Zack Hawthorn United States Magistrate Judge Dockets.Justia.com
