BYRON ALEXANDER ZACARIAS-CALDERON, Petitioner, v. WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General, Respondent.
Agency No. A096-182-062 ORDER
The court is in receipt of petitioner's original petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and his motion to transfer venue (Docket Entry No. 7). Petitioner's motion to transfer venue is granted. Because this court lacks jurisdiction to consider a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 as an original matter, see Noriega-Sandoval v. INS, 911 F.2d 258, 261 (9th Cir. 1990), the petition is transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada.
The temporary stay of removal is vacated. Upon transfer of the petition, the Clerk shall close this case.
TRANSFERRED.
