UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD DEE YOUNG,

Petitioner,

 v.

SCOTT KERNAN, warden,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 06-6380 SI (pr)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Ronald Dee Young has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge his 1990

conviction in Solano County Superior Court. Solano County lies within the venue of the Eastern

District of California. Young is incarcerated at California State Prison - Sacramento in

Sacramento County, which lies within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Venue is

proper in a habeas action in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28

U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, a petition challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is

preferably heard in the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the

conviction occurred in the Eastern District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and

Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interests of justice, this action is TRANSFERRED to the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this

matter forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 15, 2006
