C 10-01862 JF (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging the 2007 and 2008 Board of Prison

Terms’ decisions finding him unsuitable for parole. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. 

Although it is not readily apparent where the parole hearings occurred, it is clear that

Petitioner is currently confined at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville of Solano

County, which is located within the venue of the Eastern District of California. 28

U.S.C. § 84(b). 

Venue in a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the

district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, the district of confinement is the

preferable forum to review the execution of a sentence, such as a parole denial claim.
