ORDER OF TRANSFER

 Petitioner, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at the California State Prison in

Corcoran, California, proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his state conviction in San Diego County

Superior Court. Petitioner has filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

(Docket No. 11.)

A state prisoner challenging the constitutionality of his state conviction may do so

by filing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Venue for a

habeas action is proper in either the district of confinement or the district of conviction,

28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, petitions challenging a conviction are preferably heard in

the district of conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a); Laue v. Nelson, 279 F. Supp. 265,

266 (N.D. Cal. 1968); cf. Dunne v. Henman, 875 F.2d 244, 249 (9th Cir. 1989) (district of

confinement best forum to review execution of sentence). Accordingly, this case is
