United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRADLEY JOSEPH STEIGER,

Petitioner,

v.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL 

PROBATION OFFICE,

Respondent.

Case No. 19-cv-02882-RS (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This federal habeas action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court 

for the Middle District of Alabama, the court that sentenced petitioner and devised the 

terms of his supervised release. 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Petitioner filed suit here in the 

Northern District of California to modify the terms of his supervised release. Jurisdiction,

however, properly lies with the court that imposed sentence. “A court, after imposing a 

sentence, may transfer jurisdiction over a probationer or person on supervised release to 

the district court for any other district to which the person is required to proceed as a 

condition of his probation or release, or is permitted to proceed, with the concurrence of 

such court. A later transfer of jurisdiction may be made in the same manner.” 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3605. There is nothing in the record indicating that jurisdiction was transferred to this

Court, nor is there anything indicating that petitioner is permitted to be in California under 

the terms of his release. The Clerk shall transfer this action forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August ___, 2019
