UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAMUEL ANDERSON,

Petitioner, No. C 07-1786 PJH (PR)

v. ORDER OF TRANSFER

PEOPLE OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Respondent(s).

___________________________________/

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

conviction obtained in the Superior Court in and for Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County

is in the venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Petitioner is incarcerated at High Desert State Prison, which 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).

 Because petitioner was convicted in Los Angeles County, this case is TRANSFERRED

to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. 

See 28 U.S.C. §1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 10, 2007 ______________________________
