United States District Court

Eastern District of California

Morris Day, a.k.a.,

R. L. Alford,

Petitioner, No. Civ. S 05-1290 LKK PAN P

vs. Order

J. Waters, et al.,

Respondents.

-oOoPetitioner, having been convicted in the Los Angeles County

Superior Court, seeks a writ of habeas corpus, see 28 U.S.C. §

2241, and requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis. (The court

has not ruled on petitioner’s request to proceed in forma

pauperis.) 

Although this court and the United States District Court in

the district where petitioner was convicted both have

jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S.

484 (1973), witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution

of petitioner’s application are more readily available in the

county of conviction, Id. at 499 n. 15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

I therefore take no action on petitioner’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis and transfer this action to the United

States District Court for the Central District of California.

So ordered.

Dated: November 29, 2005.
