MEMORANDUM REGARDING PETITIONER'S OBJECTIONS TO TRANSFER ORDER - Because the transfer has been docketed in the Sixth Circuit (Case No. 17-3042), this Court lacks jurisdiction to reconsider the transfer. Jackson v. Sloan, 800 F.3d 260 (6th Cir. 2015). Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 1/18/2017. (kpf)

SCHEDULING ORDER REGARDING OBJECTIONS - This case was transferred to the Sixth Circuit as a second-or-successive habeas corpus petition on January 12, 2017 (ECF No. 6).

The Sixth Circuit has now vacated the Transfer Order as "prematurely docketed." Accordingly, Respondent's time to respond to the Objections under Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a) is extended to and including March 9, 2017. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 2/23/2017. (kpf)
