ORDER

The petitioner, who is incarcerated at the Oxford Federal Correctional
Institution in Oxford, Wisconsin, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28
U.S.C. § 2241.

is the district in which the prisoner is confined.” Wyatt v. United States, 574 F.3d 455,
460 (7th Cir. 2009); see also Kholyavskiy v. Achim, 443 F.3d 946, 951 (7th Cir. 2006).
The Oxford Federal Correctional Institution is in the Western District of
Wisconsin. See https://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/oxf/. Accordingly, pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1631, this Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to TRANSFER this
