IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL RAY ROGERS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1601 MCE KJM P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The application attacks a conviction issued by the San

Francisco 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 Francisco County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28

U.S.C. § 2241(d).
