UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARTURO TORRES-PEREZ,

Petitioner,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01870-SKO HC

ORDER TRANSFERRING THIS CASE TO 

THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 

CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Petitioner, a federal prisoner detained at the United States Penitentiary at Adelanto, 

California, proceeds with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

Petitioner seeks a recalculation of his sentence with credit for time served in state custody while 

detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities.

A habeas action is subject to jurisdictional and statutory limitations. See Braden v. 30th

Judicial Circuit Court of Kentucky, 410 U.S. 484 (1973). A state or federal prisoner seeking to 

challenge his present physical custody within the United States must file the petition in the district of 

confinement. Rumsfield v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 443 (2004). The United States Penitentiary at 

Adelanto, California, is located within the Central District of California.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that this case be TRANSFERRED to the United 

States District Court for the Central District of California.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
