IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HILTON LAWRENCE BROWN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-10-1715 KJM P

vs.

WARDEN McEWEN, 

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. Petitioner is presently incarcerated at Calipatria

State Prison in Imperial County. He is serving a sentence for a conviction rendered by the Los

Angeles County Superior Court. 

The general rule with regard to habeas applications is that both the United States

District Court in the district where petitioner was convicted and the District Court where

petitioner is incarcerated have jurisdiction over the claims. See Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit

Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973). In the instant case, petitioner's conviction occurred in an area

covered by the District Court for the Central District of California.
