UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARK MAJOR, Civil No. 14cv1008-LAB (MDD)

Petitioner,

ORDER DISMISSING CASE 

v. WITHOUT PREJUDICE

SAN DIEGO,

Respondent.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner, who was convicted in the Los Angeles County

Superior Court and is currently incarcerated in Los Angeles County, alleges that his speedy trial

rights were violated. (See Pet. at 1-3.)

A petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 may be filed in the

United States District Court of the judicial district in which the petitioner is presently confined

or the judicial district in which he was convicted and sentenced. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d);

Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484, 497 (1973). Petitioner here attacks a

conviction suffered in the Los Angles CountySuperior Court. (Pet. at 1-2.) That court is located

within the jurisdictional boundaries of the United States District Court for the Central District

of California, Western Division. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(c)(2). Petitioner is presently confined in

Castaic, California, in Los Angeles County, which is also within the jurisdictional boundaries

of the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division. Id.
