NOEL L. HILLMAN, District Judge.
Petitioner Joaquin Irwin Foy, a prisoner confined at the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota, files this petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. While his Petition is difficult to decipher, ultimately, Petitioner seeks release from custody. He also requests appointment of pro bono counsel and an evidentiary hearing. (Pet. 32, ECF No. 1).
Petitioner does not provide a docket number for the underlying criminal conviction or commitment he is challenging by way of his Petition, nor does he indicate in what court he was sentenced. A review of this Court's docket indicates that Petitioner did not, and does not, have a case in the District of New Jersey. Rather, his underlying criminal cases proceeded in the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and for the Western District of Missouri.
Because Petitioner is not attacking any conviction or sentence, or the execution of any sentence, imposed by a United States District Court in the District of New Jersey, this Court lacks jurisdiction to consider the Petition.
Accordingly, the Petition will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
For the reasons set forth above, this matter will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Petitioner is advised that any future habeas applications should be filed in the appropriate venue.
Petitioner is further advised that any future habeas petition should name the proper Respondent in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2242, and, if required, should include either the filing fee or a complete application for leave to proceed
An appropriate Order will be entered.
