Disposition notice

Disposition notice: On November 6, 2026, Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California ordered Vianne Ndayisenga's case transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The order identifies the action as a pro se, in forma pauperis petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed on November 5, 2026, while Ndayisenga was in ICE custody at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. It states that she challenges detention in San Bernardino County, that the Eastern District lacks jurisdiction over the proper respondent—the unnamed warden of the out-of-district facility—and that the petition should have been filed in the Central District. Citing 28 U.S.C. § 1631 and Miller v. Hambrick, the court transferred the case in the interest of justice. The matching docket entry for Document 8 attributes the signature to Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker and states "CASE CLOSED." The order transfers the case; it does not decide the merits of the habeas petition or order release.
