IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT BURNS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-2772 LEW DAD P

vs.

B. CURRY, Warden, et al., 

Respondents. 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, challenging a Board of Parole Hearings’ decision

denying him parole. Petitioner has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis or paid

the filing fee. 

At the time the instant action was filed, petitioner was confined in the California

Correctional Training Facility in Soledad, California, located within the jurisdictional boundaries

of the Northern District. He remains confined at that institution at this time. The proper venue

for a habeas challenge to a state parole decision is the district of the petitioner’s incarceration at

the time the petition is filed.
