UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUREKA DIVISION

DAVID B. DAVIS,

Petitioner,

 vs.

T.C.C.F.,

Respondent. /

No. C 16-1737 NJV (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner seeks to challenge

a conviction obtained in the Shasta County Superior Court. Shasta County is in the venue

of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Petitioner is

incarcerated in Mississippi. 

Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district

of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); this district is neither. Because petitions challenging a

conviction are preferably heard in the district of conviction, Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Laue v.

Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968), and petitioner was convicted and in the

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

Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 26, 2016.
