Narrative Opinion Summary
The petition filed by Stanley Lorenzo Williams for a writ of habeas corpus, challenging his 2007 resentencing in North Carolina, has been dismissed by an unpublished PER CURIAM opinion. The court typically does not entertain original habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, and this case does not warrant an exception. The court determined that transferring the case to the district court would not serve the interests of justice. Consequently, Williams' motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied, and the petition is dismissed in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Additionally, Williams' motions to show cause and to expedite are also denied.
