District Court, E.D. New York

Gordon v. Warden Green Haven Correctional Facility

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SHUQUAN GORDON, Petitioner, -against- 25-CV-6686 (LTS) WARDEN, GREEN HAVEN TRANSFER ORDER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, Respondent. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: Petitioner, who is currently incarcerated at Green Haven Correctional Facility, brings this pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus under

28 U.S.C. § 2254

challenging the constitutionality of his 2018 conviction in the New York Supreme Court, Kings County. Because Petitioner was convicted and sentenced in Kings County, which is located in the Eastern District of New York, the Court transfers this action, under Local Civil Rule 83.3, to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. CONCLUSION The Court directs the Clerk of Court to transfer this action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Whether Petitioner may be permitted to proceed further without payment of fees is a determination to be made by the transferee court. This order closes this case in the Southern District of New York. Because Petitioner has not at this time made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue under

28 U.S.C. § 2253

.

The Court certifies under

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States,

369 U.S. 438

, 444–45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. Dated: September 9, 2025 New York, New York
