O R D E R

After an independent review of the file, it is the ORDER, JUDGMENT and DECREE

of the court that:

1. The petitioner's objection (Doc. #10) filed on August 22, 2013 to the

Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge filed on is overruled;

2. The Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #8) entered on August 19,

2013 is adopted; and 

3. This case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Northern

District of Alabama in accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).1

 In transferring this case, no determination is made with respect to the merits of the 1

petitioner's claims for relief nor whether a federal district court has jurisdiction to consider the

petition as to those claims properly raised in a habeas action as such issues are best addressed by

the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. See Gilreath v. State Board

of Pardons and Paroles, 273 F.3d 932, 933 (11th Cir. 2001) (If petitioner files "second [or other

successive] habeas corpus petition and ... had no permission from [the Eleventh Circuit] to file

[such] habeas petition, ... the district court lack[s] jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.")
