IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NATHANIEL D. WALLACE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-0847 MCE CMK P

vs.

L.E. SCRIBNER, et al., 

Respondent. 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. This court will not rule on petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner is incarcerated in Imperial County and was convicted in Los Angeles

County. Both Imperial County and Los Angeles County are in areas embraced by the United

States District Court for the Southern District and Central District of California, respectively. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the

district of confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by

state prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently

confined here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application.
