Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0081 GEB EFB P

Respondents.

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.

District Court in the district where petitioner was convicted has 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 Ohio. Id. at 499 n.15; 28

U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

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

1. This matter is transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District

of Ohio; and
