UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EDWARD MONTGOMERY, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

V. STULL, et al., 

Respondents. 

No. 2:16-cv-434-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. His application attacks a conviction issued by the San 

Bernardino County Superior Court. While both this court and the United States District Court in 

the district where petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit 

Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of 

petitioner’s application are more readily available in San Bernardino County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 

U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

 Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is 

transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. 

DATED: March 2, 2016.
