Johnson v. Director, TDCJ-CID Doc. 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS BEAUMONT DIVISION BILLY RAYFORD JOHNSON § VS. § DIRECTOR, TDCJ-CID § CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:18cv266 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER REGARDING VENUE Petitioner Billy Rayford Johnson, proceeding pro se, filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Discussion Petitioner is incarcerated as a result of a conviction in Jefferson County, Texas, which is in the Beaumont Division of this court. He is incarcerated at the Easham Unit, which is located in the Lufkin Division. Petitioner filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus in the federal judicial district in which he was convicted and in which he is incarcerated. As a result, this court has jurisdiction over the petition. However, as he is challenging the execution of his sentence, rather than his conviction itself, it would be appropriate to transfer this case to Lufkin Division, where petitioner is incarcerated. ORDER For the reasons set forth above, it is ORDERED that this petition for writ of habeas corpus is TRANSFERRED to the Lufkin Division of this court. SIGNED this 20th day of June, 2018. _________________________ Zack Hawthorn United States Magistrate Judge Dockets.Justia.com
