MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

The court of appeals for the Second Circuit has remanded this case to permit the district court to clarify the basis for its ruling denying a petition for habeas corpus. See So v. Reno, No. 01-2344, 2nd Cir., August 16, 2002. The court of appeals suggests that “the district court may wish to consider, with briefing from the parties if necessary, whether the petition was filed in the proper venue and whether transfer to another venue would be appro *384 priate, and if inappropriate, whether the Attorney General is appropriately cited as custodian, and thus respondent, in alien habeas cases.” Id.

The parties will submit briefs on the relevant issues in accordance with the decision of the court of appeals.

SO ORDERED.
