IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LORENZO BROOKS,

Petitioner, No. 2:10-cv-0450 JFM (HC)

vs.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a county prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has neither paid the $5.00 filing fee

for this action nor filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner is incarcerated in Riverside County Jail and was convicted in Riverside

County. Riverside County is in an area embraced by the United States District Court for the

Central District of California. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the

district of confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by

state prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently

confined here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application.
