UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VERNON C. BROWN, JR.,

Petitioner,

v.

DAVID BAUGHMAN,

Respondent.

No. 2:17-cv-0330 CKD P

ORDER

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The application attacks a conviction in the Superior Court 

of Los Angeles County. 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 Los Angeles County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 

2241(d).
