IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HENRY ROBERT BRATTON, III,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0986 MCE KJM P

vs.

ROBERT HERNANDEZ, Warden, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

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

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging a denial of parole.1

Petitioner is housed at the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, which

is also the site of the parole decision he challenges. This area is encompassed by the United

States District Court for the Southern District of California. 

As provided by 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 challenges a parole decision from a different district, and

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