IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWAYNE B. DAVIS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-1033 FCD DAD P

vs.

A. HEDGPETH, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner at Kern Valley State Prison, is proceeding pro se and

has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a

request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The application challenges a prison disciplinary proceeding that took place at the

California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo, California. While both the Fresno Division of the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California where petitioner is presently

incarcerated and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner’s disciplinary

proceeding was conducted have jurisdiction over this action, any and all witnesses and evidence

necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are more readily available in San Luis

Obispo County.
