UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ISAAC MICHAEL CASTILLO,

Petitioner,

v.

ROBINSON,

Respondent.

No. 2:20-cv-0365 KJN 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. This 

court will not rule on petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner is presently incarcerated at Pelican Bay State Prison in Del Norte County. He is 

serving a sentence for a conviction rendered by the San Bernardino County Superior Court. 

Pursuant to 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 was not convicted in this district, and is not presently confined 

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

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 (ECF 

No. 2); and
