NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUREKA DIVISON

RAUL AGUIREE BARAJAS,

Petitioner,

v.

R. GRAVES,

Respondent.

Case No. 16-cv-4516-NJV (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed by a state prisoner proceeding pro se. He 

seeks review of a prisoner disciplinary finding that resulted in the loss of time credits. The 

disciplinary finding occurred in this district. However, petitioner is currently housed at Calipatria 

State Prison which is in the Southern District of California. 

Venue is proper in a habeas action 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. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 

(9th Cir. 1989). Because petitioner's challenge goes to the execution of his sentence, this petition 

is transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. See 28 

U.S.C. § 1404(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 22, 2016
