MEMORANDUM*


2
Douglas Joseph Carpa appeals pro se the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition seeking an order to release him from the obligation to appear in and be subjected to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.  Carpa was arrested in the District of Arizona under an arrest warrant issued pursuant to a Florida indictment.  Because Carpa's claim turned on the validity of the Florida indictment, the district court properly denied the petition.  See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(b);  Frost v. Yankwich, 254 F.2d 633 (9th Cir.1958);  Fries v. United States, 284 F. 825 (9th Cir.1922).

AFFIRMED.



**
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34 Carpa's request to take judicial notice of his filing of a civil complaint in the district of Arizona against IRS officers involved in his apprehension is denied
