IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAMS CHANEY,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-0377 GEB JFM P

vs.

M.C. KRAMER, et al.,

Respondents. 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.

The application attacks a conviction issued by the Alameda 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 Alameda 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 Northern District of California. 

DATED: February 27, 2008.
