(a) Subject to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d), it is the policy
of this Court that a petition should be heard in the district in
which petitioner was convicted, rather than in the district of
petitioner’s present confinement.
(b) If an order for transfer of venue is made on a first petition for
habeas corpus, the Court shall order a stay of execution which
shall continue until such time as the transferee court acts upon
the petition or the order of stay.
