    Courtney Constantine Watson filed a habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals while incarcerated in Georgia. The Fourth Circuit does not have jurisdiction over Watson's petition since he is imprisoned outside of the Fourth Circuit. As a result, the Fourth Circuit denied Watson's request to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissed his § 2241 petition without prejudice, allowing him to refile it in the district court that has jurisdiction over his place of incarceration.

    Decided:

    January 8, 2007

    Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and KING, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed without prejudice by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Courtney Constantine Watson, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Courtney Constantine Watson filed an original 28 U.S.C.

    2241

    (2000)

    incarcerated

    in

    petition
    Georgia,

    in

    this

    court.

    no

    circuit

    jurisdiction over his 2241 petition.

    judge

    Because

    Watson

    is

    on

    court

    has

    this

    Accordingly, we deny leave

    to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the 2241 petition


    without prejudice to Watsons right to refile the petition in the
    district of his incarceration.

    We dispense with oral argument

    because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in


    the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
    decisional process.

    DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE
