IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES CARPENTER,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1255 MCE KJM P

vs.

SCOTT KERNAN, Warden, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner has paid the filing fee. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the Pomona Superior Court (Los

Angeles County). While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district where

petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S.

484 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s

application are more readily available in Los Angeles County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241(d).
