IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH PAUL STOCKDALE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-1602 DFL GGH P

vs.

DORENE NYLUND, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, has filed an application for

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

The application attacks a conviction issued by the San Bernardino 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 Bernardino County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
