IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAN F. BECKER, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0081 GEB EFB P

vs.

WARDEN STEWART C, HUDSON, 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, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the United States Courts of Appeals for the

Sixth Circuit. The United States District Court in the district where petitioner was convicted has

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 Ohio State. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). On March 26, 2007, this court

transferred this matter to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. That

court returned the documents, informing the court that the Northern District of Ohio was the

appropriate district.
