IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TEDDY S. WILLIAMS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0006 WBS KJM P

vs.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma

pauperis. This court will not rule on petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner is incarcerated and was convicted in Santa Barbara County. Santa

Barbara County is in an area embraced by the United States District Court for the Central

District of California. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the

district of confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by

state prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently

confined here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application.
