IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH ROBERT LUGO,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-2220 FCD DAD P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. 

The application attacks a judgment of conviction imposed by the San Diego

County Superior Court. While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district

where petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410

U.S. 484 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner's

application are more readily available in San Diego County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241(d).
