IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HUNG DUONG NGUON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-10-0241 DAD P

vs.

KATHLEEN L. DICKINSON,

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, together with a request to proceed in forma

pauperis. 

The application attacks a judgment of conviction entered by the Los Angeles

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

where petitioner was convicted have jurisdiction over this action, 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 Los Angeles County. Id. at

499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
