IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY JEFFERSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-2426 FCD CMK P

vs.

THOMAS FELKER, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma

pauperis. Petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis has been granted (Doc. 10).

The petition attacks a conviction issued by the Los Angeles County Superior

Court. While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner

was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973),

any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s application are

more readily available in Los Angeles County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). 

Accordingly, in the furtherance of justice, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This court has granted petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis;

and
