UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND DIVISION

EUGENE ALLEN,

Petitioner,

 vs.

MARTIN BITER,

Respondent. /

No. C 14-5453 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Plaintiff was convicted in

1972 in Amador County which is located in the Eastern District of California. He is currently

incarcerated in Delano, CA, which is also in the Eastern District of California. In this

petition, he argues that he is entitled to be released in light of a recent order in Brown v.

Plata, ––– U.S. ––––, 131 S.Ct. 1910 (2011).

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

of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); this district is neither. Therefore, this petition is

transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28

U.S.C. § 1404(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b).

 IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 26, 2015.
