No. C 12-2019 JW (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Plaintiff, a prisoner presently incarcerated at Alameda County Jail in Oakland,

California, has filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254

challenging an Arizona state court decision. See Docket No. 1 at 2–3. Petitioner has also

filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (Docket No. 2.) 

Because this habeas petition concerns an Arizona state court decision, the Court

orders that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas Local Rule 2254-3(b), and in the

interest of justice, this petition be transferred to the United States District Court for the

District of Arizona. In light of the transfer, this Court will not resolve Petitioner’s

pending motion (Docket No. 2).
