IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON MIGUEL URIAS, No. 2:14-CV-2801-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges an adverse prison disciplinary

decision. Consequently, the instant petition is one for review of the execution of a sentence

imposed by a California state court. As a general rule, “[t]he proper forum to challenge the

execution of a sentence is the district where the prisoner is confined.” Dunne v. Henman, 875

F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). Petitioner is incarcerated in Los Angeles County, which is located

within the Central District of California. Because this district is not the proper venue, the action

will be transferred.
