No. C 14-5477 LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

[Re: ECF Nos. 1, 7]

Ruben Herrera, an inmate at North Kern State Prison, filed this pro se action for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge his 2014 conviction from the Los Angeles County

Superior Court. His county of incarceration (i.e., Kern County) is located within the venue of the

Eastern District of California and his county of conviction (i.e., Los Angeles County) is located

within the venue of the Central District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the

district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, a petition

challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard in the district of conviction.

See N. D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the conviction occurred in the Central District of

California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) and Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b), and in the interest of justice,

this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of
