ORDER OF TRANSFER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging the California Board of Prison Terms’

decision finding him unsuitable for parole. Petitioner is currently incarcerated at

California State Prison - Solano, which is located in Solano County and within the venue

of the Eastern District of California. Venue in a habeas action is proper in either the

district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, the

district of confinement is the preferable forum to review the execution of a sentence, such

as a parole denial claim. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244,

249 (9th Cir. 1989).
