ORDER

July 20, 2018

SOROKIN, D.J.

Pro se litigant Timothy Doyle Young, who is currently confined at USP Florence ADMAX in Colorado, filed a document captioned as “Habeas Corpus and/or Civil Complaint.” In this pleading, he asks for release on the ground that the Judicial Council, Judicial Conference Committee, and the United States Department of Justice have deprived him of his statutory and Constitutional rights. The Court will dismiss this action. Whether construed as a petition for a writ of habeas corpus or a non-habeas civil action, Young’s pleading does not set forth any plausible basis for relief. Further, the Court lacks habeas jurisdiction over the matter because Young is not confined in the District of Massachusetts. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla,

(2004). Transferring this action to the District of Colorado is not in the interest of justice, see

, as Young has apparently filed in the District of Massachusetts to evade filing restrictions placed upon him by the Federal District Court for the District of Colorado, see Young v. United States, C.A. No. 14-00073-LTB, ECF No. 24 (D. Colo. Apr. 22, 2014) (requiring Young to seek permission prior to filing any civil action). Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED. SO ORDERED. /s/ Leo T. Sorokin UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
