UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JESUS NUNEZ, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

J. GASTELLO, Warden, 

 Respondent. 

Case No. 16-00417 EJD (PR) 

ORDER OF TRANSER

Petitioner, a state prisoner at the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo, has 

filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his state 

sentence out of Sacramento County. Venue for a habeas action is proper in either the 

district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d). Here, Petitioner 

is challenging his conviction out of Sacramento County, which lies within the venue of the 

Eastern District of California. See 28 U.S.C. § 84(b). Therefore, venue properly lies in 

that district and not in this one. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Accordingly, this case is 

TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). 

The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transfer the entire file to the 

Eastern District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
