IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EVA D. AL-ZAGHARI,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-1698 KJM P

vs.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a civil committee proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma

pauperis. This court will not rule on petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The proceedings against petitioner arose in San Mateo County and it appears that

petitioner is confined in San Mateo County as well. San Mateo County is in an area embraced

by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. 

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