EUREKA DIVISION

BYRON JACKSON,

Petitioner,

 vs.

SANDRA ALFARO,

Respondent. /

No. 1:14-CV-4218 NJV (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas corpus petition filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner seeks to

challenge a conviction obtained in the Superior Court in and for the County of Sacramento. 

Sacramento County is in the venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California. Petitioner is incarcerated Delano, California, also 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); this district is neither. Because petitions challenging a

conviction are preferably heard in the district of conviction, Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Laue v.

Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265, 266 (N.D. Cal. 1968), and petitioner was convicted and is

housed in the Eastern District, this case 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). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 6, 2014.
