Petitioner, 

v. 

SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON, 

et al., 

Respondents. 

Case No. 19-cv-04070-LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Re: ECF No. 1 

The petitioner is incarcerated at the Skagit County Community Justice Center in Mount 

Vernon, Washington, awaiting a trial in the Skagit County Superior Court. The petitioner contends 

that he has been denied his right to a speedy trial and has been shackled unjustly during the 

criminal proceedings in the Skagit County Superior Court. Skagit County lies within the venue of 

the Western District of Washington. 28 U.S.C. § 128(b). Venue is proper in a habeas action in 

either the district of confinement or the district of conviction. 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). The Northern 

District of California is not the proper venue for this action because the petitioner is not confined 

in this district and has not been convicted in this district. The proper venue for this action is the 

Western District of Washington because the petitioner is confined in that district and challenging 

ongoing state court proceedings taking place in that district. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), and 

in the interests of justice, this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the
