IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAVON LAMAR TORBERT,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-10-3438 DAD P

vs.

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF 

CALIFORNIA,

 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner’s application for federal habeas relief attacks a judgment of conviction

entered by the San Diego County Superior Court. 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 San Diego County. Id. at 499

n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
