"i wonder why metter requested a transfer to the southern district of texas"
Prolly because the first-year associate and/or secretary who drafted that for Bessette is based in a Texas office of Greenberg and thus presumed or inadvertantly typed Texass instead of New Jork.
Or maybe they are thinking faaar, far ahead and requesting that Metter be imprisoned in an FCI located in Texas so that he can enjoy the heat, humidity, and high quality of fellow inmates in the BOP FCIs in Texas.
I expect the BOP has a room reservation for Mosky in their Beaumont, TX FCI-Medium facility, so maybe Mett just wants to wind up close to Mosky when they go hasta la no revista, baybee.
