IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEWANE KENT DURR,

Petitioner,

 vs.

KEN CLERK, Warden, and

EDMUND G. BROWN, Attorney

General,

Respondents. /

No. C 08-0628 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

In this habeas case petitioner seeks to challenge a conviction and sentence incurred in

the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County is in the venue of the United

States District Court for the Central District of California. Petitioner is incarcerated at Corcoran

State Prison, which is in the Eastern District. 

Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district of

conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, petitions challenging a conviction are preferably

heard in the district of conviction. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265,

266 (N.D. Cal. 1968). Because petitioner was convicted in Los Angeles County, this case is

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. See 28

U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 5 , 2008.
