Mark Woods v. Warden, Canaan USP

Petitioner, mistakenly, filed his habeas corpus petition under 28 USC section 2241 outside of the district of confinement and the district court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania assumed jurisdiction over such petition and dismissed it with prejudice. The Third Circuit Court Of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s exercise of assumed jurisdiction despite the fact that such petition was not filed in the district, of confinement as required. The question is: Whether the Third Circuit Court of Appeals erred in not correcting the District Court s exercise of assumed juriddiction over an original Habeas Corpus petition that was mistakenly filed in then wrong jurisdiction, and Whether-the District Court may properly exercise jurisdiction over a Habeas Corpus petition that was not filed in the District of confinement consistent with the "immediate custodian" requirement?" 1 ]
