ORDER OF TRANSFER

United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

 *E-Filed 5/11/10* UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

HORACE A. BELL,

Petitioner,

v.

KELLY HARRINGTON, Warden, 

and the Attorney General of California, 

Respondents. /

No. C 10-1962 RS (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Petitioner Horace A. Bell has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to

challenge his 1994 conviction in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Los Angeles

County is in the venue of the Central District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas

action in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d);

however, a petition challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard in

the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the conviction occurred in

the Central District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R.

2254-3(b), and in the interests of justice, this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States

District Court for the Central District of California. The Clerk shall transfer this matter

forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
