C 10-01304 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 June 2008 Board of Prison Terms’

decision finding him unsuitable for parole. The parole hearing occurred at the

California Men’s Colony - East in San Luis Obispo, California, where Petitioner is

currently incarcerated. The prison is located within the venue of the Western Division

of the Central District of California. 28 U.S.C. § 84(c)(2). 

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).
