IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERIBERTO MAGANA,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0255 DFL PAN P

vs.

UNKNOWN, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, an inmate at the San Diego County Jail at Vista, California, proceeding

pro se, has filed a civil action challenging ongoing state court criminal proceedings pending

against him in Vista, California. Petitioner has neither paid the $5.00 filing fee for a habeas

corpus action nor filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The general rule with regard to habeas applications is that both the United States

District Court in the district where petitioner was convicted and the District Court where

petitioner is incarcerated have jurisdiction over the claims. See Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit

Court, 410 U.S. 484 (1973). In the instant case both the criminal proceedings against petitioner

and his place of incarceration are in an area covered by the United States District Court for the

Southern District of California.
