Disposition notice

On October 28, 2026, District Judge Dena Coggins ordered Wilmer Enrique Rivera-Calderon’s habeas case, No. 1:26-cv-08830-DC-SCR, transferred from the Eastern District of California to the Central District of California under 28 U.S.C. § 1631. The order gives a brief jurisdictional explanation: the petition alleged detention at Adelanto ICE Processing Center in San Bernardino County, within the Central District, and the court stated that jurisdiction over the § 2241 petition belonged in the district of confinement, citing Doe v. Garland. The court directed its clerk to close the Eastern District case without deciding the legality of the detention. The Central District number 5:26-cv-06402 appears in the receiving-court filing header; the operative caption identifies the issuing Eastern District case.
