- ilnd;;1:13-cv-04473_de3 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER Entered by the Honorable Samuel Der-Yeghiayan on 8/7/2013: On June 18, 2013, Petitioner Jamal Harmon filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus (Petition) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In the Petition, Harmon indicates that he is incarcerated in the Menard Correctional Center in Central Illinois and the underlying state conviction that he is challenging occurred in Winnebago County, Illinois, (Pet. 1), which lies within the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division (Western Division). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d), a district court in which a habeas petition is filed, "in the exercise of its discretion and in furtherance of justice may transfer the application"to another district in the same state where the petition could have been filed "for hearing and determination." Id. Since in the instant Petition, the underlying state conviction occurred in the Western Division, the relevant records and witnesses will likely be more readily available in that division. United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division in Rockford would clearly be a more convenient forum for this case and transfer of this case to that court would promote the efficient use of judicial resources. Therefore, the instant action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division in Rockford. Mailed notice (tlm) (Entered: 08/07/2013)" @default.
