UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

H. DYMITRI HARASZEWSKI,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN, MULE CREEK STATE 

PRISON,

Respondent.

No. 2:13-cv-1663 DAD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 

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

The application attacks a judgment of conviction entered by the San Diego 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 San Diego County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
