ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner seeks to challenge a

conviction obtained in the Superior Court in and for Solano County. Solano County is in the

venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Petitioner is

incarcerated at North Kern State Prison, which also is in the Eastern District. 

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

of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); in this case, both are the Eastern District. This case

therefore is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because of the transfer, the

court ahs not ruled upon petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
