FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY BROWNLOW, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2549 WBS EFB P

vs.

DEPUTY COMMISSIONER PEREZ, 

Respondent. 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, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The application attacks the denial of parole. 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). 

Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This petition is transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District

of California; and
