ORDER

On December 15, 2014, petitioner Jerry Randolph 

McBee filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus under 

28 U.S.C. § 2254 in the Middle District of Alabama

challenging his murder conviction and life sentence 

entered by the Circuit Court of Houston County, which 

is located in this District. This court docketed the 

habeas petition as Civil Action No. 1:14cv1230-MHT and 

entered orders for the named respondents to file an 

answer by January 21, 2015. 

In June 2014, McBee filed another habeas petition

under § 2254, but this time in the United States 

District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. 

On December 11, 2014, that court transferred the habeas 

petition to Middle District of Alabama after it became 

apparent McBee was seeking to challenge the same 

conviction and sentence in Houston County, which, as 

stated, is in the Middle District. On January 8, 2015, 

this court docketed the transferred habeas petition as 

Civil Action No. 1:15cv15-MHT. 

***

Case 1:15-cv-00015-MHT-CSC Document 20 Filed 01/20/15 Page 2 of 3
Because petitioner Jerry Randolph McBee challenges 

the same Houston County conviction and sentence in both 

habeas petitions, it is ORDERED that:

1. Civil Action No. 1:14cv1230-MHT and Civil 

Action No. 1:15cv15-MHT are consolidated.

2. Civil Action No. 1:14cv1230-MHT is designated 

as the lead case. All future pleadings, motions, 

briefs, orders, and other documents submitted in the 

consolidated cases shall be filed in only Civil Action 

No. 1:14cv1230-MHT.

3. Civil Action No. 1:15cv15-MHT is closed 

administratively.

DONE, this the 20th day of January, 2015.
