No. C 07-3250 JF (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

(Docket No. 2)

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging his 1998 criminal conviction in the Los Angeles

Superior Court. Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement

or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, petitions challenging a

conviction are preferably heard in the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a);

Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968); cf. Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d

244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989) (district of confinement best forum to review execution of

sentence).
