UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL DEJESUS FLORES,

Petitioner,

v.

CAMBELL,

Respondent.

No. 2:24-cv-3350-CSK P

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, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the Riverside 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 Riverside County, which is located in the Central District of California. See 

id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This Court has not ruled on petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis; and

2. This matter is transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of 

California.
