IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RODNEY DEON HOLLIE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-0546 FCD GGH P

vs.

ANTHONY HEDGPETH, Warden, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, has filed an application for

a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the Los Angeles Superior Court of

California. 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).
