IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUGENE REDMON,

Petitioner,

 v.

DEBBIE ASUNCION, 

Respondent.

/

No. C 16-2332 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

Petitioner is a state prisoner currently incarcerated at California State Prison, Los

Angeles. He has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2254 challenging a

conviction and sentence obtained in Sacramento County Superior Court. 

A petition for a writ of habeas corpus made by a person in custody under the judgment

and sentence of a state court of a state which contains two or more federal judicial districts may

be filed in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction. See 28 U.S.C. §

2241(d). Each of such districts shall have concurrent jurisdiction to entertain the petition;

however, the district court for the district where the petition is filed may transfer the petition to

the other district in the furtherance of justice. See id. Federal courts in California traditionally

have chosen to hear petitions challenging a conviction or sentence in the district of conviction. 

See Dannenberg v. Ingle, 831 F. Supp. 767, 768 (N.D. Cal. 1993); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp.

265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968).

Petitioner challenges his conviction and sentence from Sacramento County, which lies

within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Accordingly, in the interest of justice,
