No. C 15-944 LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

[Re: ECF No. 1]

Theodore E. Stith, an inmate at the California State Prison - Sacramento, filed this pro se action

for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge his 2003 conviction and

sentence from the Solano County Superior Court. His county of incarceration (i.e., Sacramento

County) and his county of conviction (i.e., Solano County) are located within the venue of the

Eastern District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas action in either the district of confinement

or the district of conviction, with the preferable district being the district of conviction for a petition

challenging a conviction. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); N. D. Cal. Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the

conviction occurred in the Eastern 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 Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter

forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 3, 2015
