IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM FRANCIS FRIERY,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-10-2408 DAD P

vs.

MICHAEL MARTEL,

Respondent. 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, and a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The application attacks a judgment of conviction entered in the San Diego

Superior Court. While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district where

petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction, see Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court, 410 U.S.

484 (1973), any and all witnesses and evidence necessary for the resolution of petitioner’s

application are more readily available in San Diego County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241(d).
