IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In re DAMONE STOREY,

Petitioner. /

No. C 08-3839 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This case was opened when petitioner filed a petition on a form for motions pursuant to

Section 2255 of Title 28 of the United States Code. The form is headed “United States District

Court for the Eastern District of California,” but because the envelope in which it was received

was addressed to this court, it must be assumed that petitioner intended to file here. Motions

under Section 2255 are filed by federal prisoners who wish to attack a federal sentence. 

Because petitioner is a state prisoner who seeks to attack the execution of his state sentence, the

petition will be construed as brought under Section 2254. 

 Venue is proper in a Section 2254 habeas action in either the district of confinement or

the district of conviction. 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Petitioner was convicted in San Joaquin

County and he is confined in the sane county, which is in the venue of the United States District

Court for the Eastern District of California. This petition therefore is TRANSFERRED to the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 18 , 2008.
