United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OSCAR M CONSTANCIO,

Plaintiff,

v.

SACRAMENTO SUPERIOR COURT,

Defendant.

Case No. 22-cv-03393-RMI 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a prisoner. Petitioner challenges a conviction obtained 

in the Sacramento County Superior Court. Sacramento County is in the venue of the United States 

District Court for the Eastern District of California. Petitioner is also incarcerated in the Eastern 

District.

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

conviction. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). This district is neither. Petitions challenging a conviction are 

preferably heard in the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); see also Laue v. Nelson, 

279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968). Because Petitioner was convicted in the Eastern District, 

and because he is also being held in that district, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United 

States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 

2254-3(b).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 18, 2022
