DAVID ALONZO LOPEZ-ALVARENGA,

Petitioner,

v.

FIELD DIRECTOR, UNITED STATES 

IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS 

ENFORCEMENT, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No. 23-cv-03556-LB

ORDER OF TRANSFER

 Petitioner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge his detention by 

immigration authorities without a bond hearing. Petitioner is detained in Kern County, which lies 

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

confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d), although a petition challenging a 

conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard in the district of conviction. See N. D. Cal. 

Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). The preferred venue for this action is the Eastern District of California 

because Petitioner is detained in that District. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R. 

2254-3(b), and in the interests 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:
