NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANKLIN TAYLOR,

Plaintiff,

 v.

GEORGE STRATTON, Warden,

Defendants. /

No. C 04-3800 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner seeks to challenge a

conviction obtained in the Superior Court of Solano County. Solano County is in the venue

of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Petitioner is

incarcerated at California State Prison-Sacramento, which also is in the Eastern District. 

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. 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). In this case they are

the same in any event.

Because petitioner was convicted in Solano County, this case is TRANSFERRED to

the United States District Court for the District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); 

Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 28, 2006.
