ORDERED that the application to proceed in forma pauperis be granted.   The Clerk is directed to enter the petition on the court's general docket.   It is

3
FURTHER ORDERED, on the court's own motion, that the petition be transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.   Petitioner's exclusive means of challenging the determination of his parole eligibility dates is through a petition for writ of habeas corpus.   See Chatman-Bey v. Thornburgh, 864 F.2d 804, 808-09 (D.C.Cir.1988) (en banc).   This court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an original petition for habeas corpus, but may transfer the petition to the appropriate district court.   See 28 U.S.C. § 1631;  Fed.R.App.P. 22(a);   see also Henderson v. Missouri, 661 F.2d 107, 108 (8th Cir.1981) (per curiam).

The Clerk is directed to send the original file and a certified copy of this order to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.
