UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

WARREN FREDRICKSON, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

K. HOLLAND, Warden, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-0336 GGH P 

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. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. 

Petitioner is incarcerated in Kern County and was convicted in Los Angeles County. Kern 

County is in the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 

California, and Los Angeles County is in the United States District Court for the Central District 

of California. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C § 2241(d), courts in both the district of conviction and the district of 

confinement have concurrent jurisdiction over applications for habeas corpus filed by state 

prisoners. Because petitioner was not convicted in this district, and is not presently confined 

here, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application. 

Petitioner is not seeking to overturn his underlying conviction, but rather complains of 

conditions of his confinement, in particular his restriction from family visits in light of his status
