UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH D. LYLES,

Petitioner,

v.

COMPTON COURTS, et al.,

Respondents.

No. 2:16-cv-1928 KJN P

ORDER

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner paid the filing fee.

Petitioner resides in and was convicted in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County is in 

an area embraced by the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the district of 

confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by state 

prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently confined 

here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application.
