IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHANNON JEROME JACOBS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-2287 MCE DAD P

vs.

JEANNE WOODFORD, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and a request for appointment of counsel. Petitioner has

paid the required filing fee.

Petitioner is confined in California State Prison - Sacramento. The conviction

under attack was entered in the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court. While both the United

States District Court in the district where the petitioner is confined and the United States District

Court in the district where the petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction over petitioner’s habeas

petition, the witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of the petition are more readily

available in San Luis Obispo County. In the furtherance of justice, this case will be transferred to

the United States District Court for the Central District of California for all further proceedings. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S. 484, 499 n.15 (1973).
