UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ANTHONY RAY RAMIREZ 

Petitioner, 

v. 

M.E. SPEARMAN, Warden, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-CV-1298 GGH HC 

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. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the County of San Bernardino (Central 

District of California). While both this court and the United States District Court in the district 

where petitioner was convicted have 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 San Bernardino County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 

2241(d). 

 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; and
