UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

VESTER L. PATTERSON, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

JOEL MARTINEZ, Warden, et al., 

Respondents. 

No. 2:16-cv-1618 GGH P 

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. 

Petitioner is incarcerated in Tuolumne County which is in the Fresno Division of this 

district, and his application attacks a conviction issued by the Los Angeles County Superior 

Court. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the district of 

confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by state 

prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently confined 

here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application.
