EUREKA DIVISION

ALBERT MOUSA,

Petitioner,

 vs.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Respondent. /

No. C 14-2634 NJV (PR)

ORDER OF TRANSFER

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner seeks to challenge

the execution of his sentence, with respect to the Board of Parole Hearings denying parole. 

Petitioner is currently incarcerated at California State Prison Solano, which is in the venue

of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. His underlying

conviction occurred in Orange County in the Central District of California. 

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

of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); this district is neither. The district of confinement is the

preferable forum to review the execution of a sentence. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(a);

Dunne v Henman, 875 F2d 244, 249 (9th Cir 1989); cf Laue v Nelson, 279 F Supp 265, 266

(ND Cal 1968) (district of conviction preferable forum to review conviction). Therefore, this

case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a); Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 19, 2014.
