IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLIFTON MAXWELL,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-3183 KJM P

vs.

JAMES WALKER, 

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. In his application, petitioner challenges the

execution of his sentence. He is confined in San Diego County which lies within the

jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. 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).
