Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2242, petitioner must name as respondent “the person who has 1

custody over him....” The Ninth Circuit has held that “[t]he proper respondent in a federal habeas

corpus petition is the petitioner’s ‘immediate custodian.’” Brittingham v. United States, 982 F.2d

378, 379 (9 Cir. 1992). This is typically the warden of the facility wherein petitioner is

th

incarcerated. Id. As petitioner has been transferred since the inception of this action, in future he

should name his current custodian as respondent. 

This case was transferred from the Southern District of Mississippi, Western Division, by 2

an Order, filed in this court on 11/15/07 (docket entry # 7).
