UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND DIVISION

ABRAHAM GLASPER,

Petitioner,

 v.

KATHLEEN ALLISON, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 10-0589 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case brought pro se by a state prisoner to challenge denial of

parole. Petitioner was convicted in San Mateo County, which is in this district, and he is

incarcerated at Corcoran, California, which is in the Eastern District.

Because petitioner’s claim is about the denial of parole, it is a challenge to the

execution of his sentence, rather than the validity of it. Venue for habeas cases involving

state prisoners is proper in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28

U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, the district of confinement is the preferable forum to review the

execution of a sentence. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249

(9th Cir. 1989). 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interests of

justice, this petition is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 19, 2010.
