UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

MATIAS SOLA QUIRINO,

Petitioner,

v.

LORETTA E. LYNCH, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No. 5:16-cv-02464-EJD 

ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE

The court has carefully reviewed Petitioner’s response to the Order to Show Cause (Dkt. 

No. 12), but maintains its conclusion that the District of Arizona is the proper court to adjudicate 

Petitioner’s claims under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Brittingham v. United States, 982 F.2d 378, 379 

(9th Cir. 1992) (“The proper respondent in a federal habeas corpus petition is the petitioner’s 

‘immediate custodian’ . . . . A custodian ‘is the person having a day-to-day control over the 

prisoner. That person is the only one who can produce the body of the petitioner.’”); see also

United States v. Giddings, 740 F.2d 770, 772 (9th Cir. 1984) (holding that a § 2241 writ “can issue 

only from a court with jurisdiction over the prisoner or his custodian”). 

Accordingly, the Clerk shall TRANSFER this case to the United States District Court for 

the District of Arizona and close this court’s file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 16, 2016
