ORDER OF TRANSFER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se incarcerated at California State

Prison, Folsom (“Folsom”) seeks a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254 challenging the execution of his sentence. Petitioner claims prison

officials are failing to carry out the sentence imposed upon him by the trial court.

of a sentence are best heard in the district of confinement. See Dunne v. Henman, 875

F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989) (district of confinement best forum to review execution of

sentence); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a)(2) (same); cf. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a)(1) (district of

conviction best forum to review challenge to lawfulness of conviction).

Folsom, where petitioner is incarcerated, is located within the venue of the Eastern

District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84. Accordingly, this case is TRANSFERRED to
