NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN MATTHEW MONGER,

Petitioner,

 v.

JeAnne WOODFORD, 

Respondent. /

No. C 06-2794 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case attacking a denial of parole. It thus goes to the execution of

petitioner’s sentence. 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, the district of

confinement is the preferable forum to review the execution of a sentence. Habeas L.R.

2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989). Petitioner is confined at

California State Prison-Solano, which is in the Eastern District, so that is the preferable

forum for this case.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interests of

justice, this petition is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California. 

The clerk shall transfer the case forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 7, 2006.
