IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL C. WILLIAMS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-3426 KJM P

vs.

PBH REGION III PAROLE BOARD,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a county jail inmate proceeding pro se, 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 the revocation of petitioner’s parole in Los Angeles

County. 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 Los Angeles County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241(d).
