UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

HUGO HERNANDEZ-CEREN, 

Petitioner,

v. 

MR. BENNER, et al., 

Respondents.

Case No.: 19cv776-LAB (MSB) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 Petitioner, while detained in this District, filed a petition for writ of habeas 

corpus under 28 U.S.C. §2241. Shortly after that, he moved to a detention center 

in a different district without filing a notice of change of address, and the action 

was dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. 

 Petitioner is now apparently being held in Gadsden, Alabama. Shortly after 

being moved there, he filed a new habeas petition, which is now being adjudicated 

on the merits as case 19cv39-LSC (SGC), Hernandez-Ceren v. Benner (N.D. Ala., 

Jan. 9, 2019.) 

He has now filed a new petition in this case, seeking the same relief as he is 

seeking in case 19cv39, except that he asks this Court to oust the Northern District 

of Alabama of its jurisdiction and adjudicate the case here. The Court has no power 

to do this.

The petition in this case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, as 

duplicative of the action now pending case 19cv39 in the Northern District of 

Alabama. 

His motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and for appointment of 

counsel are DENIED AS MOOT. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 17, 2019
