IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIO ALEMAN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-1542 GEB DAD P

vs.

KEN CLARK, Warden, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis

and a request for appointment of counsel. 

At the present time, petitioner is confined in Corcoran, California. By his habeas

petition, petitioner attacks a judgment entered by the Los Angeles County Superior Court. While

both the district court where petitioner is confined and the district court where he was convicted

have jurisdiction over his habeas petition, the witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution

of the petition are more readily available in Los Angeles County. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d);

Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484, 499 n.15 (1973). In the furtherance of

justice, the petition will be transferred to the district court where petitioner was convicted.
