IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TYRUS McNAIR,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-1875 FCD PAN P

vs.

WARDEN, F.C.I. HERLONG, 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has paid the filing fee.

The application attacks a conviction issued by the United States District Court for

the Northern District of Indiana, and should therefore be construed as an application pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2255. While both the Fresno Division of this Court, wherein petitioner is

incarcerated, 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 the Norther District of Indiana. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
