NATHAN HILL, BB8003, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

C.D.C.R., et al., 

Respondent. 

Case No. 19-cv-02928-CRB (PR) 

 

ORDER OF TRANSFER 

Petitioner seeks federal habeas review of a conviction and sentence from Los Angeles 

County Superior Court, which lies within the venue of the Central District of California, Western 

Division. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(c)(2). Petitioner is incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan 

Correctional Facility in San Diego County, which lies within the venue of the Southern District of 

California. See id. § 84(d). 

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

conviction, see 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, petitions challenging a conviction and/or sentence 

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

Ingle, 831 F. Supp. 767, 767 (N.D. Cal. 1993). 

Because Los Angeles County lies in the Central District of California, Western Division, 

the court ORDERS that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas Local Rule 2254-3(b), and in 

the interest of justice, this petition be TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the 

Central District of California, Western Division. 

The clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: June 14, 2019
