IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LENNIS MCGEE,

Petitioner,

 vs.

GUILLERMO G. GARCIA, 

Respondent. /

No. C 10-2132 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

 

This is a habeas case brought pro se by a state prisoner to challenge denial of parole. 

Petitioner was convicted in San Diego County Superior Court, which is in the venue of the

Southern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84. Petitioner is incarcerated in Riverside

County, which is in the Central District of California. Ibid. 

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

conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, 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). Because petitioner was convicted in San Diego County, this case is

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. See

28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 25 , 2010.
