UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFREY WADE PATTERSON,

Petitioner,

 v.

KATHY MENDOZA-POWERS,

warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-1579 SI (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Jeffrey Wade Patterson has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge the

sentence imposed after his 1997 conviction in Modoc County Superior Court. Modoc County

lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Patterson is in custody in Kings

County, also within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas

action in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d);

however, a petition challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard in the

district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the conviction occurred in the

Eastern District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and § 1406(a) and Habeas L.R.

2254-3(b), and in the interests of justice, this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter

forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
