ORDER WITHDRAWING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION TO DISMISS

PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

FOR LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION

(Doc. 13)

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

On October 1, 2007, Petitioner filed the instant petition in this Court. (Doc. 1). On

December 3, 2007, the Court ordered Respondent to file a responsive pleading. (Doc. 6). On

January 30, 2008, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition because the Court lacked

subject matter jurisdiction over a federal prisoner convicted by a United States court martial. 

(Doc. 9). 

On February 7, 2008, Petitioner notified the Court that he had been transferred from the

United States Penitentiary, Atwater, California, which is within the jurisdiction of this Court to

the Federal Correctional Institution located in Sheridan, Oregon, which is not within the

jurisdiction of this Court. (Doc. 10). On May 23, 2008, the Court issued Findings and

Recommendations to dismiss the petition for lack of personal jurisdiction over Respondent, who

is within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. (Doc. 13).

motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction in due course. 

ORDER

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Findings and Recommendations issued
