Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
SPOTTSWOOD W. ROBINSON, III, Chief Judge:
The United States Parole Commission petitions for a writ of mandamus directing the District Court to vacate an order denying the Commission’s motion to dismiss a pending case for lack of jurisdiction. In the alternative, the Commission asks that the writ require the court to transfer the case to the Western District of Texas. 1 We conclude that the District Court did not err in asserting jurisdiction or abuse its discretion in refusing to transfer. We accordingly deny the Commission’s petition.
