IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAURICE CALVIN DAVIS,

Petitioner, No. 2:10-cv-0993 JFM (HC)

vs.

MIKE MCDONAL,

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. 

The application attacks a conviction issued by the County of San Bernardino. 

While both this Court and the United States District Court in the district where petitioner was

convicted have jurisdiction, 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 San Bernardino County. Id. at 499 n.15; 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d).
