IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL A. WAGAN, 

Petitioner,

 vs.

K. MENDOZA-POWER, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-4898 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. He seeks review of a denial of

parole by the Board of Parole Hearings. He was convicted in the Superior Court of San Mateo

County, which is in this district, and is housed at Avenal State Prison, which is in the Eastern

District. 

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

conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, the district of confinement is the preferable forum to

review the execution of a sentence. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244,

249 (9th Cir. 1989). Because petitioner's challenge goes to the execution of his sentence,

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), this case is TRANSFERRED to the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 28 , 2007.
