IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALFRED R. SOSA,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-0100 LEW DAD P

vs.

R. HOREL, Warden, 

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, challenging a Board of Parole Hearings’ decision

denying him parole, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

At the time the instant action was filed, petitioner was confined at Pelican Bay

State Prison in Crescent City, California, located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the

Northern District. He remains confined at that institution at this time. The proper venue for a

habeas challenge to a state parole decision is the district of the petitioner’s incarceration at the

time the petition is filed.
