No. 17-2057
In re: MOHAMMED NASSER JILANI,
Petitioner.
On Review of Petitions for Writ of Habeas Corpus
Submitted: November 16, 2017 Decided: November 20, 2017
Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and TRAXLER, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Petitions dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Mohammed Nasser Jilani, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated cases, Mohammed N. Jilani petitions for writs of habeas
corpus, seeking release from jail and dismissal of two indictments issued in Wake
County, North Carolina. This court ordinarily declines to entertain original habeas
corpus petitions, 18 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), and these cases present no reason to depart
from this practice. Further, we find that the interests of justice would not be served by
transferring these cases to the appropriate district court. Accordingly, we deny leave to
proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the petitions. The motions for appointment of
counsel, for bail, for evidentiary hearing, and for bail are denied. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITIONS DISMISSED
