IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID LANCASTER, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-2583 GEB KJM P

vs.

A.P. KANE, Warden, 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. Petitioner is presently incarcerated in Monterey

County and he challenges the execution of his sentence. When a prisoner challenges the

execution of his sentence, the preferable venue is the court with jurisdiction over the place where

the prisoner is confined. See Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9thCir. 1989). 

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: April 4, 2008.
