UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVIS SACHIO WILDE,

Petitioner,

v.

C. WOFFORD, Warden, ASP,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01715-SKO HC

ORDER TRANSFERRING THIS CASE TO 

THE SACRAMENTO DIVISION OF THE 

U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On August 10, 2015, Petitioner filed this pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner alleges constitutional violations arising from his 2013 conviction in 

Placer County Superior Court. Placer County, California, is properly venued in the Sacramento 

Division of the Eastern District of California.

Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district of 

conviction. 38 U.S.C. § 2241 (d). A District Court of the district in which a petitioner is confined 

may, in its discretion, transfer a petition concerning conviction and sentencing to the district and 

division in which the petitioner was convicted and sentenced. Such transfer generally furthers 

judicial economy since the witnesses and documentation are present in the district and division of 

conviction and sentencing.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that this case be TRANSFERRED to the

Sacramento Division of United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 23, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto
