C 06-3774 JF (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging the California Board of Prison Terms’

decision finding him unsuitable for parole after his April 2005 suitability hearing. The

hearing occurred at the California State Prison - Folsom located in Folsom, California

where Petitioner is currently incarcerated. The prison is located in Sacramento County,

which is within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Venue in a habeas action

is proper in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. §

2241(d); however, the district of confinement is the preferable forum to review the

execution of a sentence, such as a parole denial claim. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a);

Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989).
