UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JAMES JOSEPH PULIZZANO, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al., 

Respondent. 

Case No. 19-cv-03413-PJH 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner challenges a 

conviction obtained in Tehama County Superior Court. Tehama County is in the venue of 

the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Petitioner is 

incarcerated in the Southern District of California. 

Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the 

district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). This district is neither. Because petitions 

challenging a conviction are preferably heard in the district of conviction, Habeas L.R. 

2254-3(a); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968), and petitioner was 

convicted in the Eastern District of California, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United 

States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); 

Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: August 29, 2019
