IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JARON BRIGNAC,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0172 MCE DAD P

vs.

SCOTT KERNAN, Warden, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, together with an application to proceed in forma

pauperis.

Petitioner is confined in California State Prison, Sacramento. His habeas petition

attacks the sentence imposed by the Los Angeles County Superior Court on July 31, 1998, after

petitioner entered a plea of nolo contendere to a charge of second degree robbery with the use of

a firearm.

While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district where

petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction, any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the

resolution of petitioner’s application are more readily available in Los Angeles County. See 28

U.S.C. § 2241(d); Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484, 499 n.15 (1973).
